King–McBride Mansion

The King–McBride Mansion, located in Virginia City, Nevada, is a historic Italianate-style house built in 1876, shortly after the Great Fire of 1875. Known for its association with George King, a key figure in the Comstock Lode mining success, the mansion showcases high-style Italianate architecture and features an elaborate walnut staircase, marble fireplaces, and a unique skylight. It survived the Great Fire while many nearby homes did not. The mansion has served various purposes over the years, including a retreat for those seeking divorce in Nevada, and is currently a private residence owned by the McBride family. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Virginia City Historic District, making it a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike.
