![](../I/m/2010-1218-RailroadCottageHD2.jpg)
This empty lot was where the last group of cottages were either demolished or removed; the only remaining cottage is behind the white fence. As of December 2010, nothing had been constructed on the empty lot.
A total of 64 cottages were constructed from 1900-1912 in three different styles.[2] The three bedroom model offered 812 sq ft (75.4 m2) and the two bedroom house contained 768 sq ft.[1]
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1987.[3][4][5]
One building was moved to the Clark County Museum in 2002.[1] Several additional buildings were moved in 2006 to the Las Vegas Springs Preserve.[1]
