We've had a couple of emails from people asking about the Union Plaza and wanting to see more pictures about the Train Depot, Union Park and what was there before the Union Plaza was built.
Thanks to our good friend, Dennis McBride, at the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas we can do just that.
This is an aerial shot of Union Park with the Train Depot sitting in the background with the train tracks behind the Depot. In the foreground, you get a glimpse of the Las Vegas Club neon sign and roof line and a small glimpse of the Golden Gate neon sign on the left.
This is the Train Depot looking east. Union Park is front with the Las Vegas Club across the street. To the left of the Depot is part of the Cashman Dealership.
This is looking just south of Union Park and the Train Depot. In the foreground is the Golden Gate. Across Main Street is the Greyhound Bus Terminal and Von Tobel Lumber.
Rendering of the Union Plaza Hotel. Though the rendering credits Stanley J. How and Associates in Omaha, Nebraska, the local firm of Walter Zick and Harris Sharp were involved as well.
Construction begins on the Union Plaza. The Las Vegas Club and the Golden Gate are in the foreground. The Train Depot has yet to be torn down.
More coming!!!!!
