CHAMBER VISITORS CENTER ​

LOCATED WITHIN THE AMTRAK TRAIN DEPOT, THIS BUILDING AT 500 RAILROAD AVENUE WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1898 AND SERVED AS A KEY TRANSPORTATION HUB FOR THE RAILROAD IN THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES.
 
IT'S A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF MISSION REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE AND REPRESENTS THE RAILROAD'S INFLUENCE ON THE "NEW TOWN" AREA OF LAS VEGAS, WHICH INCLUDED THE HARVEY HOUSE HOTEL (NOW LA CASTANEDA) AND OTHER COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
 
THE DEPOT WAS A VITAL PART OF THE AREA'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY, AS THE RAILROAD BROUGHT BOTH PASSENGERS AND GOODS TO THE REGION.
