Sandstone Ranch or Sand Stone Ranch, as it was first known, was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places[1] on April 2, 1976.[2] The ranch is within the boundaries of the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and sits below the Wilson Range.[3]
The working cattle ranch was established in 1876 by Sergeant James B. Wilson and George Anderson. Over time it transformed from the working ranch to a retreat.[3] Later owners included; Chester Lauck (1948), Vera Krupp (1955) and Howard Hughes.[3] [4]
