From the Reno-Gazette Journal:
It was built more than 110 years ago in Wadsworth as Emmanuel First Baptist. In 1904, it was moved to 1188 Victorian Plaza Circle in Sparks.
A complete remodel has spiffed up the antique interior and exterior and brought building systems up to code.
"Our goal was to use today's technology and keep the original look," the owner said in an email.
"Saving a little of 'Old Sparks' was very rewarding," he wrote.
