The Parish House, at 109 S. F St. in Virginia City, Nevada, is a well-preserved historic Italianate-style house that was built in 1876. It is included in the Virginia City Historic District. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
It was deemed significant for association with persons who lived there, and for its architecture.[2] Persons lived there served the more successful who lived "on the Comstock" and included:
- Goodwin Jones, an engineer for the Caledonia Mine, one of the Comstock Lode mines
- Robert Patterson, proprietor of the International Saloon
- Dr. Thomas McDonald, a physician
- John McGrath, a merchant on C Street[2]
The house was used as the parish house, i.e. rectory, of St. Mary's during 1935–1970, hence its name.[2]
