Built around 1863 in Carson City, Nevada, the Sears-Ferris House is a Georgian Revival single-family home notable for its association with the Ferris family. Originally constructed by Gregory A. Sears, a Carson City pioneer businessman, the roughly sixty-by-sixty-foot square dwelling was owned from 1868 to 1890 by George Washington Gale Ferris Sr., father of the future inventor of the Ferris wheel. The house, which also incorporates Colonial Revival elements, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and remains under private ownership.
