Significance: The 1930s period stone house is a typical catalog-type house popular in urban areas but bearing very little relationship to vernacular architecture in this region, of, for that matter, to any particular climatic adaptation or orientation. However, its very large cluster of outbuildings and various wood-fenced and stone corrals are architecturally significant. Many of these elements date from an earlier period, several from the period of first occupancy of the land, always in continuous use and well-maintained. The ranch is culturally significant because of its links with two important ranching families in Concho County, the Winkels, members of the Fisher-Miller Colony who were granted this land in 1868 and occupied it and constructed existing stone outbuildings and stone corrals in the 1880s; and the Tickles, who owned and occupied the ranch from 1916 and 1989 and who built the present-day house.
