The sun rose on a March morning full of promise. Temperatures were rising, and just as the trees were sprouting blossoms all over, the Ormsby House sprouted workers on its scaffolding.

Here is the Ormsby House at the beginning of the month. Mostly the same as it appeared in February, but with one small difference.

Here on the bridge you can see the new decorative modillions they installed under the eaves. Yes, they’re called modillions. I looked it up.

In this closeup of the bridge you can see them better. These are the same curved modillions they installed at the very tippy top of the hotel tower. Now they’re putting them on the casino and the bridge to the parking garage.

In the front of the casino you can see the modillions along the roofline.

Ditto here.

In this closeup you can see where they started repairing the damage that had been done during the cold weather. Here’s the before picture, taken last month.

Along the north side of the casino the modillions showed up as well. You can also see the wall in a couple of different stages, both grey and white-with-grey-dots.

Uh-oh! Carson City got a wintery suprise on March 20th. Winter had one last hurrah to get out, and it did it on the first day of spring.

There’s another page.
