Here’s a rare find from the U.S. Treasury web site where they list old buildings affiliated with the country’s mints, past and present. As most northern Nevadans know, Carson City had a federal mint to process Comstock Lode silver mined during the late 1800s; today the Mint is the Nevada State Museum. Less that a mile south (as the crow flies) is the old State Printers building whose architecture is said to mimic the U.S. mint:

Old Nevada State Printing Office, Carson City, designed by M.J. Curtis and S.Pisley. The tall arched windows, rough-faced stone, and gable roofs demonstrate its affinities with the Mint. The Old Printing Office and Capitol are closely related to Mullet’s branch mint: all three are organized around a central rectangular mass with projecting wings, employ gabled roofs and rough-faced stone, and utilize tall, narrow windows.

Today this is the south annex of the Nevada State Library and Archives. The bottom floor holds an art gallery for roaming exhibits and a room for the State Constitution, and the top floor has offices for the State Historic Preservation Office, as well as the University of Nevada, Reno, field office.
