The House
Washoe County’s page says “Comstock millionaires Eilley and Sandy Bowers” lived the posh life in Washoe Valley here. It does not give a year built; the county’s Bowers history page does.
Tours
The page reads “Closed for Winter.” For 2027 it lists Saturdays and Sundays Memorial Day to Labor Day (May 29 to September 6), Fridays June 18 to August 6, Saturdays only September 11 to October 23, and Nevada Day (Friday, October 29), plus holidays. Tours start at 11, 12, 1, 2 and 3 and last 30 to 45 minutes; tickets go on sale 10 minutes before each tour, with no reservations. The mansion closes when AirNow reports red air quality.
