Photo Description

Dan McDonald was injured in 1879 when two tons of dynamite (then still a recent invention) blew up the old Standard works. This house was later owned by the Burkham family. S. B. Burkham operated a store on Main Street in the 1880s and 1890s, and his son, Cecil, ran the first automobile stage out of Bodie to Hawthorne in 1912.
