Today's Reno Gazette Journal has a hundred or so old Reno area pictures.

Anyone recognize these places?

Here is # 28 of 103 from 1902 of the Reno National Bank in 1902.

EDITED TO ADD: While the caption says, "1902"...the cars on Virginia are circa "1920" Here is 1928 pic:

The 1928 pic shows Harrah's front door sign, "CIGARS"

Let me see if I can isolate the "Skeels-McIntosh Drug Co. drug store (# 60 of 103) across the street from the bank:

Cool pics JD. I touched down in front of the "bank" via Google Maps Street View. I'd guess that Skeels-McIntosh Drug Co. drug store is now the gift shop kitty-corner from the "bank". Or do you maintain that it's now Beverly's gift shop?

The "Bank" is the N.E. Corner 2nd & Virginia now at Harrah's where the "Ichiban"sign is now.

See the six big columns facing Virginia Street?

It used to say, "Planet Hollywood".

And the Drug Store....is the S. E. corner & Cal Neva where it used to say, "Ham & Eggs..99cents".

The front door of the drug store and Cal Neva both are angled and in nearly the identical position.

So it's the Cal-Neva! OK, thanks JD.
