First National Bank Buys Half Block Downtown Las Vegas
First National Bank acquires a half block near the courthouse in downtown Las Vegas for a new multi story bank office and parking complex. The parcel on Carson Street and South Third and Fourth Streets will house the main Third and Fremont office and provide space for trust and administration departments and rental units. Occupancy is planned for 1964 with plans drawn by engaged architects. The expansion follows a half million dollar addition on Las Vegas Boulevard and a new office at Bonanza and 25th Streets, with more offices planned to reach nine Clark County locations.
