Mackay School of Mines Building dedication, June 10, 1908

Donor Clarence H. Mackay, Professor George J. Young, and University President Joseph E. Stubbs stand together under a tent at the dedication of the Mackay School of Mines Building. The caption on the image reads, "Clarence Mackay, Prof. Young" (photographic print, 8 x 10 inches). The Mackay School of Mines Building was originally built in 1908, funded by Clarence Mackay, for mining students. A second floor was added in 1926 by renowned Reno architect Frederic DeLongchamps. After being closed for many years and almost demolished, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and renovated again in 1988. Today the building houses the DeLaMare Library and the W.M. Keck Museum.
