The King-McBride Mansion, at 26-28 S. Howard St. in Virginia City, Nevada, is a historic Italianate-style house that was built in 1876, not long after the "Great Fire" in October, 1875. Also known as King House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
It was deemed significant for association with its builder, George King, "an important participant in the mining success" of the Comstock Lode, and also as "an excellent example of high-style Italianate architecture that was preferred by the scions of the Comstock" after the 1875 fire.[2]:7
It is included in the National Historic Landmark-designated Virginia City Historic District.[2]
