An Enduring Legacy An Enduring Legacy: Volume Nine Locality Histories Nevada The History of Bunkerville This was initiated by a group of young men who had been refused the useof the dance hall. It was a rule of the town that dances should be heldonly on Friday night, but the young men were going on a freighting tripand wanted a dance before they left. Since the hall was refused, theydetermined to build one of their own, over which they would haveauthority. They therefore organized a company with Thomas D. Leavitt aspresident, William Abbott, George Lee, and George Bunker as committee.They secured a site, put in a foundation, had some of the rock hauled andthe lumber bargained for, when the bishop persuaded them to let the wholeward assist and make the building a general ward house. Completed, it wasa substantial seventy-five by one hundred feet, with a stage, high archedceiling, and a steeple belfry. It had been built by the peoples'contributions of work and money, rock hauled from nearby hills, limeburned in a kiln of their own making, and lumber hauled from MountTrumbull, one hundred miles distant.
