St. Peter's Episcopal Church

St. Peter's Episcopal Church is a Carpenter Gothic style church in Carson City, Nevada, featuring a distinctive steeple and stained glass windows at the corner of Division and Telegraph streets. The wooden structure displays the hallmarks of this American architectural style that uses simplified Gothic details built from timber.

The church was built in 1868 by the Corbett brothers. It remains the oldest Episcopal church still in operation in Nevada today.

The interior has an unusual layout with grouped pews and a ceiling shaped like an upturned ship's hull, creating a different feeling than typical churches. This design influences how people experience the space when they gather there.

The church is located at the corner of Division and Telegraph streets, making it easy to find in Carson City. Check ahead for service times or special events to plan your visit, as access may vary depending on activities happening that day.

A stained glass window traveled from England to San Francisco by ship, then by wagon to Carson City during the church's early construction. This window tells the story of how materials made the difficult journey to reach Nevada at that time.
