Rinckel Mansion Then and Now

The Rinckel Mansion at 102 North Curry Street in Carson City. The house was built in 1876 by Mathias Rinckel, a German immigrant who owned the Eagle Market at the corner of Carson and Proctor streets, which we looked at on May 18th. His success in business allowed him to build this extravagant home. Rinckel died in 1879, but his wife and children continued to live in the house until the 1960s. Later it was the home of restaurants, including The Carlson House and Cafe Del Rio, and became the Donald W. Reynolds Press Center in the 2000s. In 2021 a new owner bought the mansion and had plans to turn it into a bed and breakfast, but those plans fell through and the mansion is now for sale again.

  1. I wonder what condition it is in, especially inside as it has served so many different purposes.

  2. Thanks! Gosh the kitchen doesn’t look like much… and you said it was ‘home of restaurants.’ I’m having trouble parsing the photos (and the video tour would be even more difficult for me). Huh.
