Photograph of the Von Tobel home after a fire, Las Vegas, 1969

Information

Date
1969
Description
The house of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Von Tobel, Sr. was destroyed by fire in late 1969. At the time the home was built, which was in 1925, it was considered the finest home in Las Vegas and was the costliest. It was the first private home to have a basement. After the death of Mr. Von Tobel in 1967 and Mrs. Von Tobel in 1968, the house stood vacant for some time. Then it was sold and moved to a new location at 702 Lacey Lane. It was still on stilts, awaiting a new foundation, when the mysterious fire started. Physical object has an insert containing additional biographical information.
