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.

Full Circle House Occupants

Over the next few weeks we will be posting the information we have gathered on past occupants of Full Circle House. Here is a brief synopsis of past occupants and when they lived here.

Wallace and Cynthia Chenowith – 1909 (?) to 1914 (?)

Wallace was a stone mason. Cynthia may have been a housekeeper at a hotel or boarding house.

William J and Irene Machabee – 1914 (?) to 1943

William worked in the lumber industry. Irene was a homemaker. Both of them were very active in Reno's social activities. Irene's mother, Mary Morrish lived with them after Irene's father died.

William B. and Ruth E. Meyer – 1943

The Meyers owned our home in 1943, but we have been unable to find any information about them.

John and June Fant – 1944 to 1954

The Fants were educators. John eventually became Business Manager for the Washoe County School District. Their daughter, Lynne, has contributed many photos and documents from the time her parents owned our home.

John N and Ruth Porter - 1954 to 1956

We also have not been able to find much information on the Porters, even though they were long time Renoites.

Joseph and Zau B Arthur - 1956 to 1960

Joe was a successful miner in Nevada who had a small strike compared to many others here, but it was enough for him to retire comfortably. Zau was an accomplished artist who wrote a book about Joe's life.

Jack and Margaret Zonneveld came to the United States from Holland. Jack worked for John Ascuaga’s Nugget casino in Sparks, NV. When he retired from the Nugget he was the Purchasing Director.
