‘NEVADA COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Looking North from the Corner of
Broad and Pine Streets in 1868.
In the background is the Nevada County Court
House as completed in 1865 at a cost of $46,400,
the third. court house to occupy this site. In the ‘center, at the corner of Pine and Commercial, is the
saloon of John Bazley, familiarly known as ‘‘Blazes,’’
whose advertisements in local newspapers of the
sixties tead, simply, ‘GO TO BLAZES.’ An interesting feature of this picture isthe evidence that, in
the early days, the streets of the business’ section of
this city were ‘‘planked,’’ as ‘‘necessary for the
public convenience and welfare.’’ Pine Street, as
provided in an ordinance of the trustees of this City
of Nevada of June 17th, 1864, four years before
this picture was taken, was planked from Spring
Street to Commercial, and Commercial Street from
.its intersection with Main to the west line of Pine.
