The Reese-Johnson-Virgin House, at 193 Genoa Ln. in Genoa, Nevada, also known as The Pink House, is a historic Gothic Revival-style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
It was deemed significant for its role in Genoa's history. It was built in approximately 1855 by carpenter Mark Gaige for John Reese, then later bought and moved (in 1870) by merchant J.R. Johnson, who painted it pink. It was later owned by judge D.W. Virgin. It is also significant "as an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture that reflected the rise in prominence of the town and its owners through its enlargement and ornamentation."[2]: 6
It is individually listed on the National Register in 2004, and also was included as a contributing building in the Genoa Historic District, NRHP-listed in 1975.[2]
