Notes: Marker 210 is located in an older section of Reno just east of the Reno Strip on Virginia. New ownership of the NCO Railroad installed wrought-iron fencing around the building in 2019 in debut of its re-opening as The Depot Brewery and for prevention of vandalism and trespassing in this older section of the city. The owners are actually quite proud of the marker and contacted the SHPO to move it to the main side entrance door for patrons to see! Unfortunately, this also limits when you can conquer the marker. If you're here during non-business hours, do what I did and take a picture of it through the fence. The close-up of the plaque was taken in 2010 before the marker had any barriers.

Exact Description:
This building was constructed as a passenger depot for the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad, a narrow-gauge line connecting Reno with northern California and southern Oregon.

It began operations in 1882 as the Nevada and California Railroad. Reno was its headquarters with a roundhouse, repair shops, and a storage yard situated at this location. Northward expansion of the line terminated at Lakeview, Oregon, January, 1912.

In 1917, the Western Pacific Railroad purchased the N.C.O. line from Reno to Herlong, California, and standard gauged it. The depot continued to serve the traveling public until 1937.
