Photograph of Las Vegas, 1910

Date

1910

Description

A black and white image of Las Vegas, Nevada. The then young town can be seen expanding its boundaries, as demonstrated by the shop being built on the right side of the street. Other stores, including a tailor shop and the Las Vegas Coffee House, are also visible from this angle, along with barren desert in the background. This photo was taken from a time capsule in the cornerstone of the Union Pacific Railroad station located in Las Vegas. The time capsule was placed there in 1940 and was later retrieved when the building was demolished around 1970.
