Corner of Douglas & 6th
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Build date: 1898
Built on the site of the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Crockett Block signified a resurgence in the local economy after the economic panic of 1893. A Rapp and Rapp design, the building reflects the California Mission style introduced to Las Vegas only a year earlier in the design of the nearby Castaneda Hotel. Tile roofs on the corner pavilions and buff-colored Roman brick mark the new style. The design shows the Rapps' distinctive neo-classical approach in the Sixth Street entrance. Murphey's Drug Store retains its original interior with a suspended Neo-Classical mezzanine and pressed-metal ceiling.
