Abstract
This project summarizes the history of Reno, Nevada and its growth as a city by its many
modes of transportation such as the transcontinental railroad and two of the nations first
transcontinental highways. A brief history of Reno is outlined, including a history of the
Lincoln and Victory Highways, which both traversed through Nevada merging at Fourth
Street in Reno.
This project researches the historic buildings associated with the transcontinental highway
systems and also those built prior to the highways. Buildings that remain along the East
Fourth Street corridor are described in terms of their history, relation to the street, current
condition, and recommendations for adaptive re-use. Ideas for redevelopment of the
streetscape as a whole are discussed utilizing programs to promote the historic significance
of the streetscape. Recommendations for adaptive re-use of these buildings are also
included.
