Description

The house is located at 102 North Curry Street and was built in 1872. It was home of Mathias Rinckel, a merchant in Carson City. It was designed and built by Ecole de Beaux Arts-trained architect Charles H. Jones.[2] It was deemed significant for its association with Rinckel and "because it is one of the finest and best-preserved examples of French Victorian architecture remaining in the American West."[2]

It was listed on the NRHP November 20, 1975.[1] The building has been owned by the Nevada Press Foundation since 2000 and houses the offices of the Nevada Press Association.
