Major renovations are about to get underway on the historic 5th Street School. It's one of our "few" registered historic buildings in Las Vegas.
money quote : “Much of the school will be restored to its original Spanish mission style design and when work is completed this will become a cultural center featuring performance areas and gallery space, classrooms and more,” said Mayor Pro Tem Reese who represents this area of Las Vegas.
The 70-year-old building was constructed by the federal government during the Depression Era at the same time as the Hoover Dam. The facility and its site, which is owned and being redeveloped by the Redevelopment Agency, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
