In 1859, Charles Fuller built a log bridge
across the Truckee River and charged a fee to those who passed
over it on their way to Virginia City and the gold recently
discovered there. Fuller also provided gold-seekers with a
place to rest, purchase a meal, and exchange information with
other prospectors. In 1861, Myron Lake purchased Fuller's
bridge and with the money from the tolls, bought more land
and constructed a gristmill, livery stable, and kiln. When
the Central Pacific Railroad reached Nevada from Sacramento
in 1868, Lake made sure that his crossing was included in
its path by deeding a portion of his land to Charles Crocker
(an organizer of the Central Pacific Railroad Company), who
promised to build a depot at Lake's Crossing. On May 13, 1868,
the town site of Reno (named after Civil War General Jesse
Reno) was officially established. Lake's remaining land was
divided into lots and auctioned off to businessmen and homebuilders.
The Lake Mansion is one of Reno's oldest surviving homes.
Built in 1877 by William Marsh and purchased by Lake in 1879,
the Lake Mansion originally stood at the corner of California
and Virginia Streets.
