Additional Description: Dr. Byam was born in 1814 and attended William & Mary College in Virginia. He lived in Ohio until 1848 before crossing the Plains to Pike’s Peak, and then to Bannack, Montana in 1862 and to Nevada City in 1863.

Dr. Byam was the Judge at the trail of George Ives which took place in Nevada City on December 21, 1863. Though this trail took place before the Miner’s Court, it led to the establishment of the Vigilantes a few days later.

This house was built in 1863. The second floor was once headquarters for the Union League, an anti-Confederate group. The Civil War was alive even in far off Montana.
