 Silverton's Greene Street
The Respectable Part of Town
As early as 1874, men were bringing their wives and families to live in Silverton. This influx of families provided an incentive for citizens to keep at least part of Silverton respectable! From the very beginning, an imaginary line ran down Greene Street, dividing the town between the law-abiding, church-going residents and the gamblers, prostitutes, variety theatres, dance halls and saloons.
Today with its historical buildings, Greene Street still looks much the same as yesteryear
except it is paved with a faint line down the middle! Just a few steps over from where the train stops, with such a delightful variety of shops, restaurants, lodging and businesses, you will enjoy discovering the respectable side of town.
Silverton's museum is just a short stroll down Greene St., located in the old County Jail next to the courthouse. Be sure to visit the "women's cell" where many a "madam" spent the night. Don't miss the San Juan Historical Society.
