The Bowers Mansion is a mansion located between Reno and Carson City, Nevada. It was built in 1863 by Lemuel "Sandy" Bowers and his wife, Eilley Orrum Bowers, and is a prime example of the homes built in Nevada by the new millionaires of the Comstock Lode mining boom.
Insider tip — Bowers Mansion stands in Washoe Valley between Reno and Carson City, a historic estate built by Nevada silver-rush millionaires that once featured a celebrated mineral spring pool. The grounds offer views of the Sierra Nevada foothills and the broad valley floor. The natural spring water was historically prized for its mild mineralization. Visit in autumn when cottonwoods frame the Victorian mansion in gold.
