The Nevada State Printing Office, at 101 S. Fall St. in Carson City, Nevada, was built in 1885-86. Also known as the Old State Printing Office, it was a work of Reno architect M.J. Curtis. It is located across from the Nevada State Capitol building.[2][3]

It is a "substantial" building built with stone walls made of 27 courses of one foot height sandstone ashlar blocks.[2] Lesser quality extensions of the building were added in 1938, 1951, 1955 and 1958.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
