The Historic 5th Street School

Who says Vegas doesn't have any history?

Formerly called the Las Vegas Grammar School, the complex is now known as the Historic Fifth Street School, due to its location on Fifth Street (renamed Las Vegas Boulevard in 1959) in downtown Las Vegas.

A cultural oasis in the midst of downtown Las Vegas’ office and legal corridors, the revitalized building is home to an assortment of local arts and architectural organizations. The primary tenants are the University of Nevada Las Vegas Fine Arts Program, including the Downtown Design Center for the School of Architecture; the Nevada School of the Arts (a music education organization); the American Institute of Architects; and the city of Las Vegas Office of Cultural Affairs.
