Located on Main Street is the Veterans Memorial Building. In addition to the dated cornestone, there is a bronze plaque that hangs on the SW corner of the building and reads:

SUSANVILLE VETERANS MEMORIAL BUILDING

Constructed and dedicated to honor
the Veterans of World War I
and all future Veterans who have served the
United States of America and Lassen County,

The building hosted the American Legion State Convention
August 15-19, 1926. More than 2500 attended the convention,
doubling the size of Susanville.
