This little cutie sits at the end of the Safari Mobile Home Park in Carson City. She looks unloved, yet we remember when she looked so different. Back in the lat 1970s, early 1980s, a friend of ours lived in this house and she took such good care of the house. To be sure, it’s a tiny house, just room enough for our friend and her dog. Back then, there was grass all around the house, there was a tall Cottonwood or two in front of the house and the inside was all cozy and cute.
We believe that the house was built by the Native American stonemasons from the Stewart Indian School. As such, she is a piece of Nevada History and deserves to be treated with respect.
Today, the house is surrounded by trailers. And we could not ascertain whether the house is part of the park or a separate entity. The house number does not come up in the Carson City Assessor’s database, so we are not really sure of the house’s status. At one point, the tenants of this park apparently didn’t care about curb appeal and the property fell into disrepair.
However, things are looking up – it seems as though the property is under new management and the property is being cleaned, updated and cared for. Maybe, some of that care will fall onto this little house and she will have a do-over. We’re going to keep an eye on her and will share our findings with you!
