The White Swan, a large, freshly painted, two-story wooden building with a gorgeous white balcony along the second story, is the home of Madame Ephingenia “Eppy” Coolidge and her girls. The ground floor houses a small bar and sitting room. The rest of the house is full of rooms for Mama Eppy and her five girls.

Eppy Coolidge was a saloon girl in Chicago who struck out west to seek her fortune. Her shrewd business sense and good luck brought her a small fortune in a ghost rock stake in California. She sold the stake and used the proceeds to move to Nevada and set up shop in Paiute Springs.

Mama Eppy is a fierce caretaker of her girls and is a crack shot with a derringer. She also holds a fair amount of secrets in the town—people talk to her and her girls about things when they’re “happy and tired.”
