St. Charles Hotel - 2009

St. Charles Hotel - 2009
The St. Charles Hotel is a historic hotel in downtown Carson City. It is located on the southwest corner of Third and Carson streets; the address is 302 South Carson Street. It was built in 1862 as two separate establishments that were later merged together into one hotel. Currently the top floors are still rented out as hotel rooms, and the ground floor houses the Firkin and Fox Pub. It is considered the second-oldest hotel in the state (after the Gold Hill Hotel), but the oldest one that has operated continuously as a hostelry.

Governor's Mansion - 2008

Governor's Mansion - 2008
From Wikipedia :
The Governor's Mansion of the State of Nevada was built between 1908 and 1909. Until that time, Nevada's governors and their families found lodging where they could in or near the Carson City, the Capital. State Assembly Bill 10, the "Mansion Bill," was passed in 1907 to secure a permanent site and residence for a Governor's Mansion. Mrs. T.B. Rickey sold the land where the mansion now stands to the State of Nevada for the princely sum of $10 and George A. Ferris, a Reno architect, designed the mansion with Classical Revival features and Georgian and Jeffersonian motifs and a construction bid was awarded for $22,700. Acting Governor Denver Dickerson and his family were the first residents when they occupied the mansion in July 1909 which was first opened to the public during an open house New Years' Day, 1910. The governor's daughter, June Dickerson, was born in the mansion in September 1909, and was the only child ever born in the home.

Nevada State Capitol - 2006

Nevada State Capitol - 2006
Abraham Curry, the founder of Carson City, reserved an area equivalent to four city blocks (10 acres or 4.04 ha) at the center of the town for the future state capitol. When the Capitol building was constructed, it was naturally located on "the plaza", which had, some ten or eleven years earlier, been designated for it, and given for that purpose.

As Mark Twain wrote in Roughing It, today's capitol site was in 1861, "a large, unfenced, level vacancy, with a liberty pole in it, and very useful as a place for public auctions, horse trades, mass meetings, and likewise for teamsters to camp in."
