| David Wayne Bailey writes: This building (above) was built in 1965 for a movie starring Steve McQueen, "Nevada Smith" it was located at Laws, CA just north of Bishop. It remained in place for years and was used for storage for the railway museum. It was a full building, but it was only meant to be standing for a few months while they shot the movie It had four walls and a roof, it did not have a foundation, a floor, or inside walls. It was a shell held up by four telephone poles in each corner. It collapsed in a big wind storm. Other buildings left behind have been converted into fully functional structures. This includes the main museum building where the book store is. My connection to this building goes back to 1965, I was on this set at Laws also up in Old Mammoth where they built a whole town and the real mines they used in the film. I was seven years old and we were on vacation, just after they finished filming. Little of this was saved, most was removed soon after we left. We have a horseshoe hanging over our door that that came from these sets. I shot this photo in the mid-1980s Culled out while I'm fixing my wounded digital photo catalog, this was shot on Kodachrome and digitally converted to black and white. |
