The Rinckel Mansion is a part of Carson City’s history and the legacy of its pioneers. The architectural masterpiece built in 1876 is a striking example of the High Victorian Italianate style, exquisitely crafted by Charles H. Jones and European artisans.
The mansion’s story begins with Mathias Rinckel, a German immigrant who found success in California’s gold fields and the mines of Virginia City. Settling in Carson City in 1863, Rinckel expanded his fortunes by supplying meat to the region’s booming mining and timber industries, commissioning the mansion with its brick and sandstone façade.
Today, the Rinckel Mansion is the home of the Nevada Press Association.
