| FIFTH STREET SCHOOL IN LAS VEGAS |
The Las Vegas Grammar School, or “Fifth Street School,” was built
in 1936 and is one of the few remaining intact mission style buildings
of its era. The school was built using federal funds as part of the
building program designed to alleviate a population boom in Las
Vegas. Currently the building is being rehabilitated into a “cultural
oasis,” which will house area cultural and architectural entities.
Adjacent to the Fifth Street School complex is the Lewis Street
Corridor and the “Poets Bridge,” which features selected local works
of poetry embedded in the concrete. The Centennial Plaza, a
gathering place on the corner of Lewis Ave. and Fourth St. contains,
among other attractions, a replica of the Liberty Bell and a local
historical time capsule.
