Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, located in Reno, Nevada, United States, is the seat of the Diocese of Nevada. The congregation was established in 1870, and they held their first services in a schoolhouse. By 1873 they were able to buy the lot on which the school stood, and in December 1875 they completed a new church. The parish bought the property the present church building is located on in the 1920s. Local architect Frederic DeLongchamps designed a new church building, and the congregation was able to complete the lower level of the church in 1929. This served all the parish's needs until the present church was completed in 1949. The upper church was designed by John N. Tilton, then a professor at Cornell University. It was built on top of DeLongchamps' lower church. The Parish House was designed by another local architect, Edward Parsons, and it was completed in 1958. The 32-bell carillon was placed in the tower in 1972. The 37-rank Casavant Frères pipe organ, Opus 3778, was dedicated in 1999. It features 2,177 individual pipes, and it is one of the largest instruments in Nevada.Trinity Church became the cathedral for the Diocese of Nevada in 2016. In 2020 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.In 2020, it reported 920 members, 257 average attendance, and $657,216 in plate and pledge financial support.

20th Century Club (Reno, Nevada)
20th Century Club (Reno, Nevada)

With this motto, "The measure of the worth of an organization to its community, is bound in its ability to embrace opportunities for service" the Twentieth Century Club (sometimes referred to as the "20th Century Club") had its beginning in 1894. Mrs. Walter McNab Miller served as President for an original group of 84 women. The Club's name was chosen to reflect a look forward to the future and the beginning of the new century. In 1894, Club members started a circulating library, and in 1898 a scholarship to the University of Nevada was funded. In 1901, members of the Twentieth Century Club participated in founding the Kindergarten Association and urged the Legislature to establish public kindergartens throughout the state. During the war years, many hours were devoted to the home-front war effort. In 1925 a Clubhouse was built on First Street on the river by Roush and Belz. Through the years the Clubhouse was the pride of its members. Much social life of Reno revolved around the facilities of this Clubhouse – weddings, luncheons, dinner dances, and civic meetings. Before 1930, the 20th Century Club was involved in a wide variety of causes like passing laws that prohibit spitting on sidewalks, social causes, education and morale. The club's membership peaked at around 1,000 members.In 1980, the Twentieth Century Club sold the building, and the Club's Steinway grand piano was donated to the Reno Philharmonic. Since 1986 two scholarships are awarded to female students with an interest in medicine. Currently the scholarships are in the amount of $2500 each. Monetary donations totaling $20,000 are given to local philanthropic organizations each year, and organized philanthropic endeavors are scheduled at Club meetings throughout the year. A monthly luncheon is held September through May featuring a program of music or lecturers. The Twentieth Century Club has entered its third century as the oldest, active women's club in the state of Nevada.
