Empire Ranch House Floor Plan

The Empire Ranch House originated as a simple, flat roof, four-room house (shaded area in diagram) constructed of hand-cast adobe blocks, somewhere between 1871 and 1874. It had packed dirt floors and no doors or windows, just openings.

During the Vail years, as Empire Ranch grew to one million acres, the ranch house expanded to 22 rooms and in 1886, the children's addition to accommodate a growing family of seven, and later, grandchildren.

Room 2. Zaguan or Breezeway (Ca. 1871)
The "breezeway" was the only entry to the corral that stood originally attached to the south end of the house. Stock was penned in the corral at night, and the only way for a thief or predator to reach the animals was to pass by the doorways to the bedrooms
