- catalog abstract ""A substantial introduction places Nevada's building culture in the context of the state's history and distinctive natural environment. The greater part of the book surveys, region by region, some 400 architecturally and historically significant structures of every type: courthouses, schoolhouses, churches, casinos, homes, hotels, mines, forts, ranches, and much more. Here are detailed descriptions, site by site, that illuminate the origins, builders, styles, significance, use, and history of each building. The range is wide: from monuments like Fort Churchill in Carson City and buildings in the old mining communities of Gold Hill and Silver City to the majestic power of Hoover Dam and the exuberant vernacular landmarks of Reno and Las Vegas." "In addition to providing authoritative architectural profiles of each site, Julie Nicoletta pays close attention to the political, social, cultural, and historical contexts of the buildings and their communities."--Jacket.".
