J & T Basque Restaurant Building

This building dates back to the 1870s and was moved to Carson Valley from Virginia City before the end of the 19th century, part of a practice that became somewhat commonplace after the Comstock Lode era. Town founder Lawrence Gilman used it as the bar and dining room for the Gardnerville Hotel. That hotel had formerly been the Kent House in Genoa before being moved to a spot just north of here. The Gardnerville Hotel later burned down and was never rebuilt. The J and T Restaurant is owned and operated by the Lekumberry family.
