Parley Hunt House, Historic house in Nevada, United States
The Parley Hunt House is a one-story stone hall-and-parlor house on Canal Street in Bunkerville, Nevada, built in 1907. It began as a three-room L-shaped dwelling with a rear cooking room, a large fireplace between the two front rooms and a stove linked to a second chimney. It now has aluminum windows, a composition roof, a plastic bubble skylight and a concrete-block fireplace.
Parley Hunt built the one-story stone house in 1907 for himself and his mother, with three rooms and a rear cooking room. He lived there until 1915. Before the 1950s, Mr. Freeman bought it and added a kitchen and altered the loft; Dan Eastman and Nick Bartlett continued changes, replacing wood windows with aluminum and the first fireplace with concrete block. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Canal Street takes its name from the irrigation canal running alongside it, and the house stands on tract 37 of the Bunkerville plat. Parley Hunt shared the home with his mother, and the rear room served as the kitchen, its stove connected to a second chimney. A small dwelling east of the main house was built by owner Nick Bartlett for his son.
The house stands on Canal Street, named for the irrigation canal running alongside it, on a 0.824-acre lot in Bunkerville, about eighty miles northeast of Las Vegas near the Utah border. A chain-link fence surrounds it on three sides, with a small gable-roofed wood dwelling to the east and two wooden sheds on the western edge. It is a private residence, so view it from the street.
Parley Hunt built the house in 1907 with three rooms, including a rear cooking room whose stove fed a second chimney. The loft was later opened above the southwest room, and the northwest room was divided into a bedroom, bath and corridor. A small gable-roofed dwelling east of the house was built by owner Nick Bartlett for his son.
