Old Winters Ranch/Winters Mansion, Gothic Revival ranch in Washoe County, United States.
The Winters Mansion is a residence built in the Carpenter's Gothic style located on an expansive property near Washoe City. The building displays the distinctive wooden decorative elements and architectural details typical of this 19th-century American design style.
Theodore Winters constructed this mansion in 1864 using wealth accumulated from mining investments in the nearby Comstock Lode silver operations. The property became a symbol of the economic power and prosperity that mining brought to the Nevada region.
This estate served as a meeting place where prominent Nevadans gathered for social occasions and political conversations that shaped the region. The grand rooms hosted events that influenced the area's public affairs and community connections.
The property is located north of Carson City in a rural setting and is most easily reached by car. Visitors should expect the site to be on private land with limited public access and specific visiting hours.
The original property was much larger and featured a private horse racing track alongside extensive fruit orchards. These features no longer exist but reveal the former owner's commitment to luxury and leisure activities.
