We were unable to learn much about this property other than a bit of information reported in the 28 April 2000 edition of the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza. According to staff writer Anne Jenkins, the Withers Log House is named for Kay Withers who came to Reno in 1922 for a divorce and stayed on to marry a Reno lawyer, T. L. Withers.

Withers bought two lots from the Crystal Bay Corporation, which had been recently formed by promoter Norman Blitz to promote the Nevada north shore of Lake Tahoe as a tax haven for the wealthy.

The Withers Log House exemplifies traditional, rustic Lake Tahoe architecture and is significant for its association with the development of North Shore tourism.

The property is privately owned and closed to the public. We are not even certain that we photographed the correct building. There appear to be at least two buildings at 344 Wassou Road, and both of them, while rustic and lovely, have modern details, particularly in the expansive fenestration.
