Opulent 1863 Comstock-era mansion built by Sandy and Eilley Bowers from Virginia City silver fortune, set on the east slope of the Sierra in Washoe Valley. Now the centerpiece of Washoe County's Bowers Mansion Regional Park with museum tours of restored period rooms, picnic grounds, a seasonal pool, and trails to the family cemetery — a rare intact mansion from Nevada's first boom.
