Description

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series IV. Pahrump, Nevada -- Subseries IV.D. Wiley Family. Homestead house constructed on John Yount's homestead location at the south end of Pahrump Valley, Nevada. The house looked pretty much as it does here when Roland Wiley acquired John Yount's ranch in 1936. The house was constructed of 2-by-4s on 4-foot centers with the 2-by-4s standing sideways. In 1941, Roland Wiley removed the bat and board and installed Johns Manville shingles. Wiley acquired John Yount's ranch from Belle Yount, common-law wife of John Yount, following John Yount's death. On the left is a cherry tree that was watered by hand from a well about 300 feet away.
