It has been some time, since I have done one of these type of post. This particular one of the White House site at Constantia, has been on my list for some time. Located approximately halfway between Susanville and Reno, its not on the highway. My problem, is I just do not go over to Reno that often.
The 17-room house was built in 1884. The Galeppi family who purchased the ranch back in the 1920s, never resided in it. It still had some furniture in it back in the 1940s. At that time, military personnel from the nearby and newly established Sierra Ordnance Depot at Herlong, held impromptu dances at the house. The house was destroyed by fire in 1963, cause un known.
