Borns, Leo
Description
Leo Borns, Jr. was born November 27, 1931 and was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He, along with his wife, Sue Borns, came to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1962 to begin an architectural career that would last forty-four years in Southern Nevada. Borns worked for various firms in Las Vegas, before developing a reputation as “F. Borns, Architect.” He has gone on to design buildings for state public works, Clark County, Nevada, the City of Las Vegas, Clark County School District, churches, and private home owners.
After living in the area for five years, Borns and his wife decided to purchase a home in McNeil Estates where they raised their three children. Borns is most proud of being a part of the development of the Kiwanis Water Conservation Park, although his structural designs can be seen throughout the Southern Nevada area. At the age of 77, he closed his office, but remains an influence on the Greater Las Vegas area.
