Help ID this Mid-Century Modern Las Vegas Church
Okay, Dennis McBride and Tom Dyer and crew at the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas are putting together a wonderful exhibit (hopefully to open in January) on Mid-Century Modern architecture in Las Vegas.
They are asking for our help. Can you provide any information about this church:
Bishop Gorman, the old Bishop Gorman on Maryland Parkway, is the front runner but if you have more info, please post it here. I'll pass the info on Dennis and crew.

Coming up later this week, all the info on New Year's Eve fireworks as well, as things we are grateful for this year as well as an update on our Archive Project.
Stay Tuned!
