Springhill Farm and Stock Ranch: Ranch House

Description

Join Ranger Heather's tour! This grand four-level ranch house, completed in 1881, forms the centerpiece of the Spring Hill Farm and Stock Ranch. It stands as a beautiful example of French Renaissance Second Empire architecture, a style popular in the late 19th century. This stately home also exemplifies a change in the American West: the transition from small ranches on the vast open range to large, enclosed ranching businesses, laying the foundations for the present-day American cattle industry.
