Carson City Civic Auditorium

The Carson City Civic Auditorium, at 813 N. Carson St. in Carson City, Nevada, was designed by architect Lehman A. Ferris and was built during 1938–39. It was funded by a municipal bond and by the Public Works Administration. Also known simply as Municipal Auditorium, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Since 1994, the building has served as the location for the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada. It was deemed significant as a depression era works project and also "as a rare example of a monumentally-scaled Romanesque Revival-styled building in Nevada". History The location of the building previously served as the National Guard Armory, which was repurposed by the American Legion as a fraternal hall. However, a fire broke out and burned the building down in the mid-1930s. In the following years, the idea to build a community hall gained traction, and shortly afterward, a proposal for the Carson City Civic Auditorium received funding from the New Deal program. Lehman A. Ferris was appointed as the architect in 1938, and by 1939, Herb Louis Dressler constructed and completed the building. Carson City Civic Auditorium served as a public entertainment venue and banquet hall until 1983. From 1965 to 1971, the basement area also housed the Carson City Library. Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada started operating from Carson City's Civic Auditorium in 1994. The museum provides interactive exhibitions in art, science, and humanities for children. Structure The building's original structure contained: a stage, a dance floor, and seating area, a basement banquet hall, cloakrooms, and dressing rooms. References

Fernley station

The Fernley and Lassen Railway Depot in Fernley, Nevada was built in 1914, and was the eastern end of the Fernley and Lassen Railway line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, 30 miles from Reno. Also known as the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The station is a 187-by-26-foot (57.0 m × 7.9 m) wood-frame building of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company's "Common Standard Station Plan #22" and is significant as a good surviving example of railroad pattern book architecture, and the only example of that specific plan surviving in Nevada. It was a passenger and goods depot, with accommodation for the station master on the second floor. It was part of 112-mile Fernley and Lassen Railway, which joined the Red River Lumber Company in Westwood with the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, unifying the Southern Pacific Railroad's system in Oregon, Nevada, and California and providing rail transportation to farming and ranching communities in northeastern California and northwestern Nevada. Fernley station was used until 1985. In 1986, the Fernley Preservation Society bought the building from the Southern Pacific, and moved it approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast to a site on Main Street. It was named to the Nevada State Register of Historic Places in November 2001, and to the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 2005. From 2000 to 2011, the town, later city of Fernley had a management agreement with the Fernley Preservation Society, which operated a railroad museum at the depot. The city ordered the building closed in 2011 over liability issues and took possession of it in 2014 with a view to renovating it more fully. The former Churchill School Building #4, a one-room schoolhouse from a ranch in Dayton, is located behind the depot building, where it was moved in 2000. References
Galena Creek Schoolhouse

The Galena Creek Schoolhouse in Washoe County, Nevada, in Reno, is a historic schoolhouse that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. It is located just south of Galena Creek near Callahan Park. Nevada's most famous poet of the 1960s and 1970s, Joanne de Longchamps lived in the schoolhouse in 1975 and wrote a book of poetry named "The Schoolhouse Poems". In 1974 Joanne wrote “Three years ago Galen and I acquired (at an auction from the School District ) an acre of land at timberline. It lies under the dominion of Mount Rose and Galena Creek. In one corner of this acre is the schoolhouse – a one room building of hand-cut local stone. To my knowledge, this is the third schoolhouse to stand on or near this site. The first was built when the town of Galena thrived in the 1860s, a timbering town (no longer in existence) that supplied the mines of Virginia City." References

Lahontan State Recreation Area

Lahontan State Recreation Area is a public recreation area surrounding Lake Lahontan, a 17-mile-long (27 km) impoundment of the Carson River, located approximately 18 miles (29 km) west of Fallon, Nevada. The reservoir features 69 miles (111 km) of shoreline and 11,200 acres (4,500 ha) of water when full. Much of the park lies below 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in elevation and is dominated by high desert sagebrush. Wooded areas of native cottonwoods and willow trees can be found along the shore of the lake. Primary access points to the park are along U.S. Route 50 near the Lahontan Dam and off U.S. Route 95 in the town of Silver Springs. A corridor known as Carson River Ranches connects Lahontan with Fort Churchill State Historic Park. History Following passage of the Newlands Reclamation Act of 1902, the Lahontan Dam was constructed along the Carson River between Fallon and Carson City. The dam, measuring 162 feet (49 m) high and 1,700 feet (520 m) long, was completed in 1915. The reservoir was named after ancient Lake Lahontan which covered much of Nevada during the last ice age. Submerged beneath the water were parts of stagecoach routes which existed during the 1800s including Williams Station, the scene of the Battle of Williams Station, a minor skirmish during the Paiute War. Originally operated by Churchill and Lyon counties, Lahontan became a state-operated recreation area in 1971. Activities and amenities Park activities include boating, water skiing, fishing and camping. The park has two developed picnicking areas as well as a developed campground at Silver Springs Beach #7. Primitive camping is allowed in most other areas. Multiple trails can be found along the length of the reservoir. References External links Lahontan State Recreation Area Nevada State Parks

Marzen House

The Marzen House, near Lovelock, Nevada, which has also been known as Big Meadow Ranch House, is an Italianate style house that was built in 1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It is significant as being the most prominent historic ranch house in the Lovelock Valley, and for association with Colonel Joseph Marzen, as well as for its Italianate architecture. Description Marzen House was built as a residence in 1875 by Colonel Joseph Marzen (1828-1916). The surrounding territory was developed into a vast and affluent ranch. The two-story house is designed with ornate jigsaw cutout window moldings and corner-boards. This symmetrical building is capped with a hipped roof which is low pitched. The exterior, which is formally balanced, is sided in shiplap initially painted white. It has stilted segmental arch moldings which are surrounded by double-hung wooden windows. The leading doorway has ornate Victorian double doors and a transom above decorated with frosted glass surrounded by cutout molding. History and Context Marzen House or the Big Meadows Ranch House is one of the most spectacular residences of central Nevada built in the late 1800s. Unlike other ranch houses which were simple and merely functional, the Big Meadows Ranch House was an exceptionally designed work of architecture. It is very spacious and elegant as well. The description notifies that Colonel Joseph Marzen was a very thriving rancher in Nevada. Coming to Nevada in 1863, Mr. Marzen started the trade of butcher in Virginia City. He first visited the Lovelock Valley in 1873, he brought in thousands of cattle during his visit. After around 2 years, he returned to the Lovelock Valley to build a house there and so he bought land in the area of Big Meadows. Using the close by Humboldt River, Mr. Marzen irrigated the land for wheat cultivation. He constructed the most striking house in the Lovelock Valley as his residence concurrently. The ownership of the ranch house has been changed many times after Colonel Joseph Marzen. The later possessors were well-known people like Louis Aloys Friedman, the Baldwin estate, and Raymond Lewis Knisley. After the Big Meadows Ranch House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the empty house was shifted to the edge of the Big Meadow Ranch from its first position so that it could be used as a museum. Currently, it is accessible to the public and it is still in its rural setting at Lovelock Valley. The initial landscape has been revived with a lawn outlined by a number of trees. References

Minden Butter Manufacturing Company

The Minden Butter Manufacturing Company, also known as the Minden Creamery, is a historic creamery building located at 1617 Water St. in Minden, Nevada. Built in 1916, the creamery was designed by noted Nevada architect Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps. The creamery replaced the Minden Butter Manufacturing Company's first building, which was built in 1908, so the company would have space to pasteurize its products. The company sold butter and other produce under the Windmill brand name and eventually became the largest creamery in Nevada. While the company mainly shipped its goods to the San Francisco area, it also sold internationally; the year before the creamery was built, it sent a large shipment of butter to China. The creamery building is now used by Bently Nevada for manufacturing purposes. The creamery was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1986.

Mineral County Courthouse (Nevada)

The Mineral County Courthouse, also known as the 1883 Esmeralda County Courthouse and the Old Mineral County Courthouse, is an historic county courthouse building located at 551 C Street in Hawthorne, Mineral County, Nevada. Built in 1883 as the Esmeralda County Courthouse, it served as such until 1907 when the county seat was moved to Goldfield. In 1911 when Mineral County was created, it became the first Mineral County Courthouse, and served until 1970, when a new courthouse was constructed. It is the only building in Nevada to have served as the courthouse of two different counties. On January 29, 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of 2008 (photo), it was fenced off and in disrepair. Description On a residential street with other public structures close by, the Old Mineral County Courthouse is situated in a park-like setting. Furnished with a single-story portico and a composite roofline, it is a 2-story rectangular unreinforced brick building. The courthouse has an enormous lawn and a number old Cottonwood trees which provide shade with the Community Center next at hand. The Italianate-Building was decorated with braced sidewalls, vaguely arched window and door openings, and a bracketed cornice along the roofline. 4 elevations of the building are capped with the Central gables. An unusual accent is added to the structure by the entrance porch in a 5-sided semicircular shape with wooden columns, and a balustrade in a pentagram design. The National Emergency Recovery Act of the 1930s added a concrete vault and removed the roof's cupola which the authority claimed to be too heavy for the building. Also, the workers changed the first wooden portico on the east with a concrete version of a moderately dissimilar style. History and Context The natives of the fledgling town had mounted a campaign to acquire county seat status less than 2 years after the infant community of Hawthorne was founded as a station on the newly-constructed Carson & Colorado Railroad. The Legislature of the State accepted an act for removing the county seat of Esmeralda County from Aurora to Hawthorne. The Legislature also approved the bonds selling to collect funds for managing the cost of construction for a courthouse within a sum which will not exceed 30,000 dollars on 1 March 1883. The transfer of office was effective from July 1 of the same year. Officials of Esmeralda County permitted a construction contract for 29,125 USD in 1883 to George W. Babcock. The officials chose A.C. Glenn for supervising the construction of the courthouse. In the course of the process, Mr. Glenn was replaced by D.R. Munro. Differences occurred between authorized plans and the project in progress which created a controversy among the locals. The increased cost was 33,976 USD after the changes.
