Francis G. Newlands Home, Shingle style residence in Nevada, United States.

The Francis G. Newlands Home is a two-story wood-frame house at the end of Elm Court in Reno, Nevada, set on about 2 acres overlooking the Truckee River to the north. Its roughly rectangular footprint carries a gable roof and a Shingle Style exterior, with Queen Anne features such as varied projections and gables. A front wing and an arbor were added before 1908.

Francis G. Newlands had the house built in 1890, shortly after moving to Reno from San Francisco. He later served in the U.S. House from 1893 and the Senate from 1902, championing the 1902 Newlands Reclamation Act. After his death in 1917, divorce lawyer George Thatcher bought it in 1920; his client Barbara Hutton stayed there in 1935.

The bluff where Newlands built became known as Newlands Heights, and the colonial revival Hawkins House next door is also on the National Register. After Newlands died, divorce lawyer George Thatcher bought the house in 1920; his client Barbara Hutton, heiress of F. W. Woolworth, stayed there in 1935.

The house is privately owned and not open to the public, so it can only be seen from the street. It stands at the end of Elm Court, a short spur off the western end of Court Street, on about 2 acres overlooking the Truckee River to the north. The colonial revival Hawkins House next door is also on the National Register.

After Newlands died in 1917, divorce lawyer George Thatcher bought the house in 1920; his client Barbara Hutton, heiress to the F. W. Woolworth fortune, stayed there in 1935, as did other Thatcher clients from time to time.
