Rose Garden Urban Renewal Project, North Las Vegas, Nevada. Top two photos (left and right) show examples of what the area looked like before urban renewal. The photos in the middle and at the bottom show the area after renewal. The project, at Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard, replaced acres of what used to be the most run-down portion of the city. Redevelopment took place in the 1970s. The Casa Rosa project shown in the photos is the first phase of the redevelopment program and consists of 101 units developed in the area of Yale and Tonopah Streets.

Gilbert, Nevada, February 25, 1925. Gilbert was located in the Monte Cristo Range, 26 miles west of Tonopah. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "The town was founded as the result of a rich gold strike in the area by the Gilbert brothers in 1924. At its height (1925-1927), the town's population exceeded 400. After the boom, the mines maintained a small, steady production until World War II eventually forced them to close. In addition to gold, the district produced lead, silver and high grade turquoise. Nevada Historical Society Collection." There is a date stamp: 1987.
