The Las Vegas Municipal Building was constructed as a WPA project beginning in 1939 and completed in 1940. The building was designed by Santa Fe architectural firm of Kruger & Clark in with elements of the Spanish Pueblo Revival style. The building was constructed of locally quarried stone as opposed to the more customary adobe and stucco. The project provided work for unemployed local workers. The building provided much needed space for city offices. The building was modified in 1965 to house museum and other offices. The building is now used for municipal courts and for the City of Las Vegas Museum and Rough Rider Memorial Collection.
