From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series IV. Pahrump, Nevada -- Subseries IV.A. Hughes Family. Barn in the background is said to have been constructed prior to 1900 from timber sawed in Saw Mill Canyon in the Spring Mountains. It contained a number of stalls and mangers in which stagecoach horses were quartered. The barn was torn down when Walt Williams moved to the Pahrump Ranch, and a shop was constructed on the site.
The people associated with Howard Hughes series dates from 1947-1976 and is composed entirely of reference files of newspaper clippings that document Hughes employees, business associates, competitors, and relatives, as well as politicians and government officials that were of interest to Hughes.
