Veterans Housing in CC - Welcome Sign

In this entry, Sam mentioned living in Veteran’s Housing in Carson City in the early 1950s. The crackerjack staff at the Nevada State Library and Archives (NSLA) dug up these pictures taken by John Nulty around 1951. As Sam and Scott point out, these homes rested on the site of the current Carson City Sheriff’s and courthouse complex bordered by Harbin to the east and possibly Pratt or Roop to the west. I think one or more of the buildings survived to the 80s or 90s where it housed the Police Athletic League for youths (boxing, in other words).
