Zick and Sharp: Making the Ordinary Extraordinary

Join the Nevada Preservation Foundation for our monthly program celebrating Walter Zick and Harris Sharp, two visionary architects who shaped mid-20th century Las Vegas. From iconic “circle” schools to stunning banks, hotels, and homes, their designs reflected the influential styles of the era, yet they are often underappreciated compared to other well-known architects of the city.

Dive into their inspiring story, explore their enduring impact on the city, and experience an opportunity to walk through an extraordinary circle school—an architectural marvel that brings their legacy to life.
