My Grandmother's House

My grandmother's railroad house

I am a third generation Las Vegan. Both sets of grandparents came to Las Vegas in the early 50's. My grandmother's house was on third street near down town. She and my grandfather ran a small place providing housing for railroad workers.

After she passed away some years ago, the house was moved to the Clark County Historical Museum. It's displayed as a typical railroad house. The museum is a great place to visit and shows as it was before all the casinos and fancy fountains.
