Tom Miller worked for the Mono Lake Railway & Lumber Co. south of Mono Lake at Mono Mills. The company supplied much of the lumber used to construct Bodie. This house, on Green St. between Fuller and Park, is the only residence that the public is permitted to enter.
Situated over 8,300 ft. high in the Sierra Nevadas, the mining ghost town of Bodie, California is a forlorn sight. It is hard to imagine that it was once a booming, thriving city notorious for its wicked men and climate. Today, the men are gone, but the climate remains.
Bodie became a California State Historical Park in 1962 and is carefully preserved in a state of 'arrested decay.'
