Welcome to Full Circle House

Located in Reno Nevada, our house is over one hundred years old. We know the names of everyone who has lived here. In most cases, we know their history. We've never blogged before, so this will be something new to us. Besides the history of our home, we will be adding information about the neighborhood we live in. When our neighborhood was developed in 1905 it was called the Wells Addition. Today we call it West of Wells. Through future posts and, as we learn more about blogging, there will be more about Full Circle House and our unique neighborhood.

Introduction

We call our home Full Circle House because, in a way, we have come full circle. Rosalie and I used to live close to work and downtown in our respective cities. When we were married, we moved far away from work and those downtown areas. Since moving to Reno, we've lived in many places, sometimes close to downtown, sometimes not so close and now we are on Moran Street for the second time. Now we live close to work, close to downtown and close to many of our friends, though in Reno, you're never really far away from anywhere else in Reno. We now have more friends and know more of our neighbors then anywhere else we've lived before.

As time goes on we will post more history of our home and it's occupants. In addition, we will be posting information relating to the Wells Addition and the general history of Reno.

Past residents of the Full Circle House include Reno Socialites, Union members, School Teachers, Masons, a well known mining figure. Some of them were native Nevadans, some of them moved to Nevada from other states and some of them emigrated to the United States. All of them, that we have been able to research, have been fine upstanding citizens and made contributions to the community in one form or another. We can only hope to carry on that tradition.
