Historical Note
The Riverside Hotel has been a fixture of Reno since its original construction by Myron Lake in 1870. The original Riverside Hotel was a two-story structure named the Lake House. This building was sold by Myron Lake in 1880 and was renamed the Riverside. The face of the Riverside Hotel has changed many times: first in 1907 when the original wood structure was replaced with a three story brick structure; second in 1922 when the building was claimed by fire and rebuilt; next in 1949 when a modern concrete addition with the first hotel pool was added; and finally in 2000 when the addition was torn down.
