Nye County Courthouse Belmont, NV Framed by towering cottonwood trees, the grand belle of Belmont, the Nye County Courthouse, stands alone and empty in the moonlight. This imposing building was completed in 1876 for about $24,000 (the contractor was, supposedly, fined $2,400 for being four days late on completion). An attached jailhouse was also constructed in the back. The Courthouse served as the Nye County seat from 1876 through 1905. This grand old building has stood empty and neglected for many years, but recent restoration activities are adding new life the Courthouse.
