Friday's Station
Friday's Station, on US 50 between Kingsbury Grade and Loop Road in Stateline, Nevada, is a two-story wood-frame white building built as a Pony Express station and inn in 1860. In 1986, it was known as Park Cattle Company Residence and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The two-story wood-frame white building is visible from U.S. Route 50 near the California-Nevada border at Stateline, Nevada.[2] When built, it was also a Union Army military post of the District of California. During the 1870s through the 1880s it operated as a resort under the name "Buttermilk Bonanza Ranch."[3] The listing included two contributing buildings: the second was a blacksmith shop and stable built in 1850 at the rear of the inn.[1][3] The nearest locale was called Smalls by 1891,[4] but had changed its name to Tahoe Village by 1955.[5] The interior of the building has undergone several remodels throughout its history, but the original floor plan included space for both a restaurant and a saloon on the lower floor.[3] The upper floor has remained largely unchanged since its construction, except that it now features bathrooms which were not part of the original structure.[3] It is the only Pony Express station in the state of Nevada to survive in a largely intact form.[3] It is designated as California Historical Landmark #728.[6] References
