The history of the second oldest capitol building west of the Mississippi is as colorful as Nevada itself. Completed in 1871, the cost of construction nearly doubled the amount originally bid by Peter Cavanaugh; with furnishings, the total rang in at USD104,000. The 1981 renovation cost nearly USD6 million. The first floor features a mural, three feet high and 400 feet long, painted by A. V. Wiggins in 1917. Numerous images representing Nevada's industries are embodied in the work. A variety of events take place as well, including the Silver & Snowflakes Holiday Tree Lighting in early December. Admission is free.
