The Carson City Post Office is an historic building in Carson City, Nevada built during 1888-1891. It was designed by architect Mifflin E. Bell. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
It is significant as the first Federal building built in Nevada, and the only one of its architectural style, which is Richardsonian Romanesque.[2] It served as a courthouse of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada from 1891 to 1965.[3] It was renamed the Paul Laxalt State Building, for former Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt, in 1999, and now houses the Nevada Commission on Tourism.[3]
Bell, a Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, was the initial architect, while work was completed under Supervising Architect successors Will Frost and James Windrum.[2]
