Amargosa Opera House and Hotel

The U-shaped complex of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style adobe buildings included company offices, employees' headquarters, a dormitory and a 23-room[3] hotel with a dining room, lobby and store.

At the northeast end of the complex was a recreation hall used as a community center for dances, church services, movies, funerals and town meetings.

Once the railroad stopped, the Opera House, Hotel and about 250 acres of land changed hands many times, until Marta Becket arrived on the scene.

[8] In 1974, Becket completed her murals[6] and established the nonprofit Amargosa Opera House, Inc. to continue preservation of the property.

[2] Through the Trust for Public Land, the nonprofit bought the town of Death Valley Junction, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1981.

[12] The exterior of the Amargosa Opera House was also shown in the movies The Hitcher and Carl Colpaert's Delusion, also in the 2020 miniseries The Stand.

The exterior of the adjacent cafe and hotel colonnade were shown in a 40 second segment of Robert Plant's video of his 1983 song Big Log.
