The town of Silver City received $500,000 in state capital improvement funds from this year’s legislative session for ongoing repairs to the Silver City Waterworks Building, originally built by a private company in 1887 to furnish water for the town’s first water supply system. Known as the “Rock House,” it is the only surviving stone building from this era in Silver City.
