Brown House, National Register of Historic Places landmark in Yuma, United States
The Brown House, situated at 268 South First Avenue, features brick construction and period architectural elements from the late nineteenth century.
Built in 1893 by F.B. Wightman, this structure initially served as a lodging establishment for railroad workers traveling between Los Angeles and Tucson.
The house represents a period when Yuma transformed from a frontier settlement into an established community connected by railroad transportation.
The structure maintains its original features except for roof modifications and kitchen breezeway enclosure, receiving National Register designation in 1982.
Located on an elevated position at the southern end of the historic district, the building stands as a reference point for the surrounding area.
