Francis G. Newlands Home

The Francis G. Newlands Home, located in Reno, Nevada, is a historic mansion built in 1890 for former U.S. Senator Francis G. Newlands, a key figure in the 1902 Newlands Reclamation Act. This National Historic Landmark features a unique blend of architectural styles, including Shingle Style and Queen Anne elements, and is set on a scenic bluff overlooking the Truckee River. Although privately owned and not open to the public, the home represents a significant piece of Nevada's history and the development of irrigation infrastructure in the American West.
