Reno. George Wingfield was not only a rancher, banker and politician but also dabbled in hotel management. Wingfield bought the property in the 1920s and had Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps design the building. The Riverside Hotel became well known in Reno’s history as the place for soon-to-be divorcees to spend their time waiting on divorce papers to be finalized. His sealer is from the Wingfield estate and was an original piece from the hotel’s past. The seal embossing reads "Riverside Hotel Incorporated December 23, 1905. Nevada." The sealer has a gold star with a red circle in the middle and measures 10.5" tall. Also see lot #1356Spradling-Wingfield Estate HKA#62942
