Peleg Brown Ranch, Historic ranch building in Reno, United States.
The Peleg Brown Ranch features five buildings on four acres of land, including a main house constructed in 1864 with white columns and symmetrical design.
The Brown brothers established this ranch in 1857 after traveling from Rhode Island, introducing alfalfa cultivation to the Truckee Meadows region of Nevada.
The property demonstrates the evolution of western American farming practices through its architectural elements and agricultural infrastructure from the nineteenth century.
Located at 12945 Old Virginia Road, the ranch includes a Craftsman-style playhouse measuring 8 by 10 feet built around 1900.
The ranch functioned as a stagecoach stop and agricultural supplier for the Comstock Lode mining operations during Nevada's silver mining period.
