Date Conquered: 6/5/07 Nearest intersection: Musser Street Quick Description: A marker honoring the state capitol building and its funding by the Comstock Lode. Signed: No -- This marker has never been signed. Full Description: Exact description as reads ... Completed in 1871, Nevada's splendid victorian capitol was built of sandstone from the quarry of the town's founder, Abe Curry. The octagon annex was added in 1907, the north and south wings in 1915. Notable features are its Alaskan marble walls, French crystal windows, and elegant interior. The Nevada State Capitol and #44 on the bottom left. #25 is barely out of view in this picture. "Capitol at Night," Carson City, NV. DID YOU KNOW?... ... The Nevada State Capitol is open to visitors any time during business hours? Many people, especially tourists, believe the Capitol is off-limits to all but State personnel. Not true. Self guided tours are encouraged and all wings and rooms (except for a few that are posted) are open to the public. Visitors to Carson City (and even locals) often come away astonished by the building's lavishing interior! However, if you don't feel like taking a look around inside, the Capitol's oasis-like grounds are a huge respite on a hot summer's day. The Capitol's well-kept rose gardens and its seventeen trees, one representing each county in Nevada, is a nice twist to the austere scrub of Nevada. Take a few minutes and stroll the grounds. If you place yourself right, the experience is almost like standing in a lush New England forest!
