A little about Las Vegas, NM.  This is where the Rockies meet the plains.  In the 1800's Las Vegas was one the wealthiest towns in New Mexico.  Las Vegas was a mercantile trade center from the East to the West.  People came from all over the United States and this gave us the diversity of historic building. You will find many styles of homes here from adobe, Tudor style, glass block, Queen Anne, California mission style and several other styles reflecting the diverse culture that was here in the 1800's. Some of these wonderful buildings and homes are on the National Historic Registry.  If  Las Vegas history, and historic buildings is your interest, visit our link to Las Vegas Historic Preservation.  Click Here!
