Featured in this lot is this original found in Tombstone O.K. Corral Gunfight Hearing Gird Building courthouse raling circa 1880's and displayed in the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. The railing is wonderfully and professionally crafted wooden construction with simple but effective design. This railing survived two separate fires in Tombstone, Arizona as the fire records never included Gird Building which was built by William H. Gird in 1881. The railing comes complete with an original museum plaque that reads as follows: Courtroom Rail from the Gird Building (across from City Hall) where the famous street fight (O.K. Corral Gunfight) hearing was held. You know the Earps, Doc Holliday and the Cow Boy faction leaned on this rail during its life! The Gird Building in Tombstone, Arizona, built in 1881 by William H. Gird, is one of the town's historic adobe structures and played a significant role in the aftermath of the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Located at the corner of Fourth and Allen Streets, the building originally housed offices and businesses on the ground floor and a courtroom upstairs. It was in this upstairs courtroom that the preliminary hearing for Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and others involved in the O.K. Corral shootout was held in late 1881. The hearing was a pivotal moment in the legal and historical legacy of Tombstone, and the Gird Building remains a key landmark in the town’s storied past. The condition of this courtroom railing is well preserved for its age with some slight weathering and modern attachment added to be displayed freely but otherwise shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this courthouse railing is The collective weight of this railing is TT270
