The Glendale School of Reno, Nevada, located at S. Virginia St. and Lietzke Lane, is a historic schoolhouse that was built in 1864 and served as a school until 1968. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
It was deemed significant as the first educational institution in the "Truckee Meadows" area, where, in 1857, Charles C. Gates and John F. Stone created a rope ferry across the Truckee River and opened a trading post, leading to further development. It was built by Archie Bryant.[2]
