Las Vegas, 1905
The First Las Vegas Gammar School – Photo Circa 1905
On April 7, 1905, an election was held among Las Vegas residents to authorize a tax to be levied to build a schoolhouse in the new Las Vegas town. Local citizens donated money to buy eight city lots at Lewis and Bridger streets, and an old hotel building was moved to the site. The school opened on October 5, 1905.
