Description: Welcome to my listing for:Virginia City, MT Henry Elling State Bank 1899 Check w/ Rev / Tax StampsHenry Elling was a German immigrant who had moved to Virginia City in 1864. He quickly found success as a merchant, invested in mining, property, and livestock, had an electrical franchise, and became a prosperous banker. By the 1870s, Henry was well established as one of the wealthiest men in state. The Ellings had ten children, seven of who survived to adulthood. They built their house - a mansion, really, by Virginia City standards. In 1876. When Henry died in 1900, he left behind a 3-million-dollar fortune, which Mary promptly put to good use. She donated the funds for the building of the new St Paul’s Episcopal Church, and she nearly doubled the size of the Elling mansion, adding a massive ballroom, sitting room, smoking room, maid’s quarters and extra kitchen. Already well-known, Mary quickly established her name as an extraordinary host. For the next two decades the house was alive with parties, music, and festivities. All classes of people, from the richest to the poorest, were welcomed by Mary.Showing only minor signs of wear and handling consistent with its age. Cut canceled at center. Fold creases from posting.
