Description

Depicted in the photograph is the original home of Mr. And Mrs. J.T. McWilliams. The house stood at the corner of "C" Street and Wilson Streets, but has since been destroyed by fire. This photograph came with a letter which read, "Dear Mrs Kepper: It is hoped that the enclosed photograph of the original home of Mr. and Mrs. J.T. McWilliams will be of some use and value to your collection. Mr. McWilliams was the subdivider of the original town of Las Vegas, located on the west side of the Rail Road Tracks and north of Bonanza Road. The house has been burned down, and, only ashes remain. My sister Jean Nevada Fayle, was born in this house June 9, 1909. The McWilliams and my folks were very good friends. At one time Mr. McWilliams served as County Surveyor. The house stood at the north east corner of "C" and Wilson Streets. With best best wishes, Leonard F."
