Hawkins House, later known as Sierra Nevada Museum of Art, is a historic home in Reno, Nevada. It was designed in a colonial revival style by Elmer Grey for Prince A. Hawkins, a scion of the well-established Hawkins family, in 1911.[2] It is now the offices of the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA).[3]

It is adjacent to the Francis G. Newlands House, a National Historic Landmark.[2]

From 1978 to 1988, the building housed the Sierra Nevada Museum of Art, now known as the Nevada Museum of Art.[4]
