Views of the Lake Mansion
Library

To the right of the entry is the library. Above the door is a transom, a wooden flap that could be opened to circulate air throughout the house. The library was a very important room, for the family members were all avid readers. The Lakes valued education. When Florence, Jane Lake's first child, married State Senator William Thompson, she was given her choice of a wedding present. She chose to attend school.

The library is now used as a gallery to display art works of VSA arts of Nevada students.
