A nonprofit group associated with the National Trust for
Historic Preservation says 11 Nevada historical places are in
danger of being lost to development. "Preserve Nevada" lists the
crumbling Moulin Rouge in Las Vegas -- built in 1955 as the
city's first racially integrated casino -- and also cites
railroad cottages built in the city in the early 20th century.
Also listed are native petroglyph sites in southern Nevada, the
1905 Virginia Street Bridge in Reno, and Goldfield High School,
built in 1907. The organization says the 1883 Mineral County
Courthouse in Hawthorne and the 1871 Million Dollar Courthouse
in Pioche are worth saving. It also points to Main Street in
Tonopah, the 1927 Silver State Lodge in Reno, and the Stewart
Indian School, built in 1897 in Carson City, The Nevada Northern
Railway complex, built in 1905 in Ely, rounds out the list.
