California Building

In 1927 Reno hosted an exposition commemorating the completion of the Transcontinental Highway passing through the city and a building was erected on the site. In 1938 the American Legion gave the building to the City of Reno. The California Building is located in picturesque Idlewild Park, located along the Truckee River.   Directions
