[2] John Twaddle sold the ranch in 1885 to the brothers Stefano and Anselmo Pedroli for $3,000.

The Pedrolis were Swiss born Italian speakers who had worked as cattlemen in the Washoe Valley.

After buying out Anselmo, Stefano developed a dairy business, shipping fresh milk and cheese to miners working the Comstock Lode.

[2] The Pedroli Ranch passed in 1948 to Harp Brothers, Inc. and was managed by John Jackson.

[2] The structures do not include the main ranch house, which did not retain significant historic integrity and was demolished in 1998.
