Assay Office, Bannack, Montana, July 30, 2010.
Assay Office – While most gold is 80% to 95% pure, some of Bannacks’s gold assayed as high as 99.5%. Gold scales could be found in every establishment because most services were paid for in gold. Along with being an assay office, the building also served as the Oliver Stage Station and a butcher shop. Farm Services Administration photographer John Vachon’s notes referred to it as a former bank.
