Triangle Ranch
Triangle Ranch (Williams Ranch Headquarters) was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in June 1994. Photographs from nomination, February 1994.
Built in 1923, the Triangle Ranch along the South Fork of the Bad River consists of a Sears Catalog house (blueprints dated from the 1917-1918 catalog) with a matching garage and a number of barns and outbuildings. The Mission Style house and garage were from the Alhambra House plans, which could be purchased for $1,969 to $3,134. The Williams' hired Carl Werner to build the house.
The property was originally homesteaded by Smokey Stearns. H.H. and Grace Williams bought the relinquishment for the quarter and some haying equipment from Stearns by trading a good team of horses and a buggy in 1903.
They first built a log house. Along with ranching, H.H. Williams was a locator for other homesteaders who were arriving from the East in significant numbers.
