Huntridge Home Placed on City of Las Vegas Historic Property Registry

Congratulations to my friend and client Kelly Wallace! Her Huntridge Neighborhood home is the first to be included on the City of Las Vegas’s Registry of Historic Places. At a dedication Ceremony yesterday, the Historic Preservation Commission awarded a bronze plaque for the house. Attending were Members of the Historic Preservation Commission – Bob Stoldal, Dan Robinson, Diane Siebrandt and Jack LeVine. Ward 3 Councilwoman Olivia Diaz made the official presentation.

Whereas the Huntridge Neighborhood hasn’t achieved Historic Designation, individual homeowners like Kelly are encouraged to apply. At a minimum, the properties may be eligible once they are a minimum of 40 years old, maintain their original architectural features, have stayed true to their original look, or have significant historic significance. The HPC is responsible for approving the application with subsequent approval by the City Council.

The City of Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission

The City of Las Vegas, through the work of the Historic Preservation Commission, oversees preservation activities for buildings, structures, and places of historical and architectural significance. It also reviews historic designation applications to the National Register of Historic Places and the city’s Historic Property Register.

The history of Las Vegas is kept alive by preserving properties that are listed on the local register. This includes the neighborhoods of John S. Park and Beverly Green. Non-residential properties include the Huntridge Theater, the Westside School, the La Concha Motel Lobby that serves as the Neon Museum’s entrance, and the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse which is the home of the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.
