The Carson City Civic Auditorium, at 813 N. Carson St. in Carson City, Nevada, was designed by architect Lehman A. Ferris and was built during 1938-39. It was funded by a municipal bond and by the Public Works Administration. Also known simply as Municipal Auditorium, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]

It was deemed significant as a depression era works project and also "as a rare example of a monumentally-scaled Romanesque Revival-styled building in Nevada".[2]
