George L. Sanford came to Nevada in about 1906, and was experienced in law and in the newspaper industry; he came to control the Carson City News newspaper. It was deemed significant as the sole surviving buildings associated with the "powerful" Sanford family (including George's brothers Graham and Leigh) and also for its architecture.[2]
