Description given with photograph: "This photo was taken by C. P. Squires on the occasion of planting the first tree in the courthouse park, Las Vegas, Nevada. Date March 1911, as near as can be fixed. The building shown at left is the first Clark County Courthouse (now used for the LV City Library). Las Vegas City Library had been constructed by popular subscription by Las Vegas businessmen as promised by them during the county division campaign in 1908-1909. This building provided sufficient quarters for the county offices for five years, following which, the present courthouse was built. Persons shown, as far as their identity can be remembered are: (holding the tree) Ed W. Clark, (using the shovel) Judge E. L. Taber. Others, left to right: Charles Ronnow; Judge W. R. Thomas; unidentified; Bob Dillon; Frank A. Stevens; Harley A. Harmon and Dr. R. W. Martin (partly in picture)."
