Remarks:
The Bank of
Las
Vegas
(originally First National Bank) constructed the building after absorbing the San Miguel Bank in 1920. The
new
building was constructed in 1921-1922 after a design by Rapp and Rapp. The sandstone was cut, carved and polished in St. Louis, Missouri; then shipped to
Las
Vegas
where it was assembled by local masons. IAS files contain an excerpt from Chris Wilson's "Architecture and Preservation in
Las
Vegas
II," (
Las
Vegas
C.C.H.P.), pg. 120.
