The Building
The Nevada State Capitol stands at 101 North Carson Street in Carson City. Wikipedia (a secondary source) says it was built from 1869 to 1871 to designs by architect Joseph Gosling, was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 10, 1975 and that the Legislature moved to a new building in 1971. The governor’s office is still there, with historical exhibits upstairs, it says.
