The footprint of the Howell House can be seen at the bottom left on Sheet 42 of the 1918 Sanborn Fire Insurance map of Reno. The entire block bounded by Hill, California, Granite (Sierra), and Liberty Streets consisted of wood frame buildings, denoted by the color yellow. Note the Mt. Rose Hospital facing Granite Street and the building at the map's center labeled "auto garage," colored pink to indicate brick construction. | Creator: Sanborn Fire Insurance Company | Date: 1918 | Source: U.S. Library of CongressDownload Original File
