Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-HDR
Photographed in April, Reno, Nevada

Known originally as the Andrews Ranch, the pioneering family’s expansive property was one of the area’s earliest and largest ranches, consisting at its peak of a reported 6,000 acres of land that stretched all the way from the Truckee River to today’s Skyline Boulevard, Reno at that time was just six years old. Around 1900, the large ranch house was disassembled at its original location in Virginia City (where it may have been built as early as the 1860s), moved to its present site, and carefully reassembled. William Henry Caughlin, a local sheriff, purchased the ranch in the 1890's after the death of Andrews. The small home that the family had previously inhabited was moved behind the larger house and used as a bunkhouse for the ranch hands. The main ranch house, the bunkhouse, and the ranch’s historic well (1900) were all added to the City of Reno’s Historic Register.
