Lyon County Courthouse, National Register of Historic Places courthouse in Yerington, Nevada.
The three-story Lyon County Courthouse extends ninety feet by eighty feet, featuring brick walls and terracotta decorations on columns, windows, and doors.
Frederick DeLongchamps designed this Beaux-Arts courthouse in 1911, with construction completed in 1912 at a cost of 35,000 dollars by Reno contractor Ward Bros.
The courthouse stands as a representation of early 20th-century public architecture in Nevada, marking the resolution of county seat disputes between northern and southern regions.
The 1936 western extension added 40,000 dollars worth of office space, providing additional rooms for County and State government personnel since its construction.
The structure remains the tallest concrete and brick building in Yerington, with an uninterrupted vertical wall rising from base to ornamental eave line.
