"The term <i>mansion</i> has been liberally applied in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comstock_Lode" class="extiw" title="w:Comstock Lode">Comstock</a> to include any large and vaguely residential building. This has been done for promotional purposes and is far from being an accurate characterization. Even the most elaborate dwellings in Virginia City would be considered no more than ordinary houses in any urban setting. In the case of the Savage, Gould &amp; Curry and Chollar properties, all referred to as mansions, the term is a complete misnomer, having been applied to buildings that served primarily as offices for major mining companies." - <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/nevada/sav.htm">quoted text from NPS.gov</a> (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170214003153/https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/nevada/sav.htm">archive</a>)
