The Rinckel Mansion was built between 1874 and 1876 for Mathias Rinckel, a German immigrant who found success during the California Gold Rush and later expanded his wealth through mining in Virginia City. After settling in Carson City in 1863, Rinckel became a prominent merchant and livestock dealer, supplying meat to nearby mining and timber camps. Designed by French-trained architect Charles H. Jones and constructed by European craftsmen, the mansion stands as one of Nevada’s finest examples of High Victorian architecture.
