History
editThe house was built in 1904 by rancher David Nichols McBride, who bought the surrounding land in 1904, for $1.50 per acre.[1] The house is made of mortared dolomite, and has two rooms–a kitchen and bedroom, and an incomplete porch. After McBride died, his son Amos inherited the property, who used the house to brew moonshine. He sold it United States Bureau of Reclamation in the 1960s.[2][3][4]
