Odds And Ends
November 23rd, 2009 Categories: Las Vegas Real Estate News
City Center: Good friend and fellow blogger Steve Friess has pictures and commentary from a pre-opening tour of City Center. I’m hoping as he does, that a major grand opening will give Las Vegas a shot in the arm. His pictorial is in two parts. Here’s the link to part 1 in case you missed it. .
Berkely Square: It’s official! Berkley Square, designed by mid-century modern architect, Paul Revere Williams, was the first subdivision to be built in Nevada by and for African-American residents of Las Vegas. It is now on the National Registry of Historic Places! Read rest of the story at Classic Las Vegas. There’s a newly updated story posted there by Courtney Mooney, the historic preservation officer for the City, about Berkley Square as well.
Modernist Brazil: I’d already spent much too much time on the photo stream of Mid Century Modern Brazil. Julian Weyer took all the pictures. I found it at Mid-Century Modernist. 2 different readers sent me links to it as well, so let’s share it with everyone. Do read the post at MidCenturyModernist, but here’s a direct link to the Flickr page as well.
Mondrian: 
I don’t think this is what Piet Mondrian had in mind when brought to us the world of color blocks. Pam at Retrorenovation shows us a much better use for Mondrian Blocks in some wonderful “Mondrian kitchens”.
This picture will show up again soon at VeryVintageVegas.
if you don’t know about Oscar Niemeyer you are definitely missing out! And the dude is still working…he’s like 102 yrs. old I think.
