Description
Pierce Point Ranch Tomales Bay Point Reyes in Vibrant Colors 20200709
Constructed in the 1860s by Solomon Pierce, it became the most successful "butter rancho" in Point Reyes Township, and as such it was repeatedly recognized in the contemporary literature. The operation grew so large that a second ranch was established though it is no longer extant. Beginning in the 1880s the ranch was leased to a series of tenants. In the mid-1930s it was sold to the McClure family which operated it as a Grade B dairy until about 1945, when dairy ranching ceased after 90 years. The complex includes the 1869 and earlier sections of the two-story main house, the tank house, school, woodshed, carpenter shop, blacksmith shop, dairy, horse barn, slaughter house, hay barn, hog sheds and pens and woodshed. It represents the most extensive surviving historic complex at the Point Reyes National Seashore. -wikimapia
