Scope and Contents
The Early Appraisal Series dates from 1937 to 1973 and contains appraisals of residential and commercial properties in Southern Nevada. The bulk of the properties are in Las Vegas, but there are also appraisals from North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Logandale, Nevada as well as other cities. The earliest appraisals predate Bruner’s arrival in the office and were completed by A.L. Worswick. They vary in levels of detail, with some offering only a quick sketch of the property, to others that offer details about the property including materials used inside and information about the surrounding neighborhood.
