"The Stewart School like the Paul Laxalt Building, the U.S. Mint, the State Capitol, and even the Comstock mansions in the historic district, ranks among one of the oldest buildings in Carson City. Few, if anybody, know it's here. #91 conquered." -- June 2007

Original Date Visited: 5/27/07
Revisited: 11/18/21
Signed: This ridiculous signage for this marker sits along Business US 395: 1.1 miles west of its location. This is not only erroneous, but extremely confusing! By seeing this sign you'd think the marker has gone missing or that it stands somewhere along Business 395 (S. Carson St.) when in fact it sits a mile to the east of the busy highway!

Two things need to happen: either this sign needs to have an arrow attached to its base pointing in the direction of Snyder Avenue, or re-locate the darned thing one mile east on Snyder Avenue. Even so you'll find only one sign for Marker 91 on the southbound lanes of S. Carson Street.

Save yourselves the headache and make a left in the direction of the "Correctional Center, Stewart Facility" as seen in the photo below. You'll have to wait awhile for traffic to open up if you're coming from the north.

Marker 91 in south Carson City Here is the Stewart School decked out in a layer of snow!   Can you spot the marker? This view is from Marker 77 right across from the Stewart School. The Stewart School circa 1922 © Stewart Indian School

Exact Description:
Originally known as the Carson Indian Training School, Stewart Indian School, operated by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, provided vocational training and academic education for American Indian students from throughout the west for nearly a century.

W.D.C. Gibson, the first superintendent, renamed the boarding school in honor of U.S. Senator William Morris Stewart of Nevada, the principal figure in obtaining Congressional authorization and funding for the institution.

In the early 1920's, superintendent Frederick Snyder initiated a building program. Students worked with stone masons, some of American Indian ancestry, to construct the handsome stone structures that still grace the grounds.
