Show Notes

A crumbling building at Commercial Center meets the wrecking ball, and it sparks a bigger question about who decides what parts of our past are worth saving. Host Sonja Cho Swanson sits down with Dr. Paige Figanbaum and Amy Raymer of the Nevada Preservation Foundation to explore why Downtown is Las Vegas’ most historic neighborhood, from its railroad roots to its fading Fremont Street motels, and why preservation matters in a city built on reinvention.

Visit the Nevada Preservation Foundation for more information on Home + History Tours.
