Date

2017-08-05

Description

Infrastructure for the Ascaya luxury home development, including mailboxes like this one along Cloudrock Court, power, gas, and roads was completed before sales of lots began.

Ascaya, carved into the McCullough Mountain range in Henderson, Nevada, was completed with materials mined from the site.

House and garden belonging to Gordon and Billie Bettles: photographic print

Date

1950 (year approximate)

Description

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series I. Amargosa Valley, Nevada -- Subseries I.A. Fishel Family (T&T Ranch). The house was occupied by Betty-Jo Boyde and her husband in 1990, was moved to the site by the Bettles from Death Valley Junction, California. The site was bare land when the Bettles moved onto it. As this picture testifies, Billie Bettle's reputation as a skilled gardener is fully justified.
