Old School Las Vegas

Postcard: Las Vegas Grammar School, 4th & Bridger, circa 1911. Inscribed, “Dear Mother, Just here for the day. Pretty little place in the desert. Expect to be in L.A. before the end of the week.”

This is an overview of the first schools in the city of Las Vegas up to the early 40s. The list does not include early schools outside the city limits such as those in Goodsprings, Blue Diamond, Paradise Valley, North Las Vegas, etc. Several more schools were built in the 40s-50s. Clark County School District (CCSD) was created in '55.

Tent School ('05) for a handful of students near Las Vegas creek.

Las Vegas Grammar School ('05-'10) 2nd & Lewis. Salt Lake Hotel was moved from Main St. to the southeast corner of 2nd & Lewis, converted into a school house, and opened Oct. '05. A second, smaller building was added later. The main school building was destroyed by fire Dec. '10. For the rest of the '10-11 school year classes remained in the second building while others moved to the Methodist Church and to, "a few shacks on the 200 block of N. 3rd St." The second building was relocated at a later date to 815 S. Tonopah Dr. near W. Charleston and served as Shady Spot (bar) and a private home. (RJ 3/13/49)

Las Vegas Grammar School ('11-'60) 4th & Bridger, the "first permanent school in Las Vegas." Kindergarten and Manual Arts buildings were added in the 20s. Used from '60-'65 as a school administration building. Sold to the federal government in '65, it was demolished and replaced by the Foley Federal Building.

Clark County High School ('17-'34) 4th & Bonneville. After LVHS opened CCHS was used as a grammar school. CCHS was destroyed by fire on 5/14/34. An adjacent tent school was used from '34-'36, at which point CCHS was replaced by Historic Fifth Street School.

Westside School ('23-'67) 330 W. Washington Ave. Oldest surviving school house in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas High School ('30-'93) 315 S. 7th St. Las Vegas Academy of the Arts since '93.

Historic Fifth Street School ('36-'66) 4th & Bonneville. This opened as "Las Vegas Grammar School" and the name "Fifth Street School" came into use in the 40s.

North Ninth Street School ('43-'57) 600 N. 9th St. Elementary school.

Mayfair School ('43-'70s) 421 S. 15th St. Elementary School. Replaced with Fire Station 4 and Mayfair Place Park.

Helen J. Stewart School ('43-?) 201 E Washington, or today’s 801 Veteran's Memorial Dr. The elementary school was called Biltmore School in its first year. Helen J. Stewart and John S. Park were the first schools in Las Vegas to be named after individuals. A man named Fred Pine came to Las Vegas in '02-'03 and lived in a tent by Las Vegas Creek, and in '43 he was building inspector for this school built on the same site. (A. E. Cahlan. From Where I Sit. Review-Journal, 6/14/43.)

John S. Park School ('43- ) S. 10th & Franklin. Called Huntridge School in its first year.

where: outside the biltmore (mayfair) when: early afternoon with: open!

It was only ever going to be a matter of time before the paparazzi discovered which hotel Max is staying at. There’s a small posse lying in wait for him today as he steps out of the Biltmore, clamouring for both space and his attention as they try to snap the perfect photo.

Usually it isn’t so bad. Max has been dealing with these people for most of his life, and is more than capable of giving them the brush-off, throwing them a cheeky comment and a wink as he climbs into a waiting car or disappears inside a club. Now though? Now his patience is stretched dangerously thin as he battles the first hangover he’s had in six months.

He tries to put up his usual front, to smile and banter and whatever else he can think of, but his sunglasses and cap do little to mask the state he’s in. It’s like they can sense weakness, a frenzy of sharks scenting blood in the water, and as Max moves to push through them, they close ranks around him, pushing and shouting and shoving their cameras in his face. “Alright, enough- fucking hell, enough!”

tarnished gold. rumpled bedding. a mark on your throat in the shape of someone’s mouth. rebellious prince syndrome. refusing to grow up. sunbathing on the deck of a yacht. the crush of bodies on a crowded dancefloor. the weight of expectations. champagne problems. hair of the dog. skating through life with a wink and a smile. slipping away from a party for a cigarette on the terrace. new year’s fireworks from across the bay. playing the hand you’re dealt. a bow tie hanging loose from a collar.

biography.

tba

fun facts. (drunk driving mention)

Over the course of his life, Max has dated no less than seven women named Georgina. That works out as approximately one Georgina per every five years.

Max is currently six months into a twenty month suspension of his driving license, following his well-publicised arrest for driving under the influence.

He grew out his hair expressly because he knew his father would hate it - the fact that Viktor also hates it is just a bonus.

The Liddells aren't exactly a hugging family, but Max craves physical affection, and will seek it wherever he can get it. He has a way of drawing people into his orbit until he has them tucked up against his side, his arm wrapped around their shoulders or his fingers tangled with theirs, the contact as natural as breathing.

If he wasn't a Liddell, and his life wasn't completely off the rails, Max probably would've trained as a pilot.
