Only an old ghost town..

When I left Death Valley, I took a slightly longer route out the valley to go through Ryolite, and gold boom and bust town from the early 1900's.

I've been to a few other ghost towns in the past, but they dated much earlier that Ryolite.  The construction in Ryolite isn't wood framed and sided structures like most towns built before 1900.  Most the remaining structures Ryolite are concrete construction, and the missing structures were prefab structures that the inhabitants packed out of town on wagons after the local gold stocks went bust.  The bottle house, however, is made of bottles.

The bank buildings were intact, including the vaults.

There was also an abandoned Union Pacific car in town.
