The Lakeview House, on U.S. Route 395 south of E. Lake Blvd. in Carson City, Nevada, is a historic house overlooking Washoe Lake that was built in 1873. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
It was deemed significant for association with "early-day recreation, transportation, lumbering, and water-supply enterprises."[2]:3 It was built on the site of an inn that had burned in 1871. It was "headquarters" of John B. Overton, supervisor of the Virginia City & Gold Hill Water Company, which built a water pipe through the area. The area was the end of a nine-mile-long lumber flume which brought timber used in Comstock Lode mines, and was loaded there onto the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. The house was later home of several succeeding supervisors and "watermasters".[2] It is located about four miles northwest of Carson City, proper.
