Today’s #tbt takes us out of Idaho and into the gambling hotspot of Winnemucca, Nevada. In 1947, Hummel, Hummel and Jones  was commissioned to design a hotel-casino in Winnemucca, Nevada for Terminal Inn.

From the opening flyer, “Sonoma Inn is a beautiful, new resort hotel and casino planned and constructed in the most modern manner. You’ll be delighted with the spacious, exquisitely appointed public rooms—the casino and bar, cocktail lounge, dining room, coffee shop and gracious main lounge. You’ll thoroughly appreciate the fine food and smart, comfortable guest rooms. Plan your first visit to Sonoma Inn – Now! Come and enjoy the fun, play, and gaiety….Write or Wire for Reservations.”

The Sonoma Inn debuted on May 27, 1947 at W. Winnemucca Boulevard in Winnemucca. In 1969, the property was remodeled and renamed the Winners Inn and Casino, which is open still today.
