The former McKinley Park School was constructed in 1909 and renovated in 1999. The ornate design and architecture of the interior is unique for indoor weddings and receptions. Now known as the McKinley Arts & Culture Center, it occupies an important place within the Truckee River Arts and Culture District in the City of Reno.

This historic building boasts two gallery spaces, arts and crafts workshops, the City of Reno Cultural Affairs Division, and provides rental office space for local non-profit arts organizations.
