Fourth Ward School
Virginia City, NV

The Fourth Ward School was constructed in 1876. It was built in the "Fourth Ward" District of Virginia City, Nevada. During its operation from 1876 to 1936, the Fourth Ward School was a monument to the value of education, renowned for its state-of-the art heating and sanitary amenities and its visionary approach to the full spectrum of educational experiences.



In 1999 Heritage Architecture & Planning was hired to prepare a Historic Structures Report for the Fourth Ward School Board of Trustees. Heritage subsequently provided architectural services for the complete restoration of the school including the Assembly Room. The Assembly Room provides for live performances by local acting companies. Currently, Heritage is overseeing the reconstruction of the restroom wing.
