City of Las Vegas
1905 - Diamon Jubilee - 1980
Historic Marker

The three buildings on the site were constructed in 1949 as a part of Twin Lakes Lodge, a dude ranch surrounded by stables, a lake, rodeo grounds and natural springs.

The buildings are on a portion of the 80 acre Lorenzi Resort originally developed in 1922 as a complete recreational area.

The City of Las Vegas has designated these buildings as historically significant and emblematic of old Las Vegas.
