Also known alternatively as 190 N. State Street, 190 State, or simply the State/Lake Building - it's on the SW corner of that busy intersection, and very well for the media offices/studios inside. A rather handsome building, designed by the firm of architectural brothers Rapp and Rapp - Cornelius W (1861-1926) and George L (1878-1941). Rapp and Rapp were best known for designing theatres - including the fabulous Chicago Theatre across the street.

Powell Hall; Built 1925 by the famed Chicago architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp. The theater spent the first 40 years of its existence as a stage for live vaudeville performances as well as motion pictures. The last movie shown in the old theater was The Sound of Music in 1966. At that time, the building was acquired by the Symphony Society for $500,000, through a gift from Oscar Johnson Jr. After spending an additional $2 million to update and renovate the theater, the hall re-opened in January 1968 as the new home of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

The Carnegie Public Library in Las Vegas, New Mexico was built in 1903 with funding support from the Andrew Carnegie grant program. The building was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello. The arrival of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway to Las Vegas in 1879 introduced architecture forms from the east. The area where the library was built- Library Park- is the essence of this eastern influence. The library, a dominating Neo-Classical structure located in a central square, surrounded by frame and brick residential structures, emphasizes the eastern influence. Although, Neo- Classicism was inconsistent with local, traditional, southwest architecture, the library was designed to present an image of sophistication and higher learning to the citizenry.
Only three libraries in New Mexico were built with Carnegie grants before the program ceased in 1919. The other two buildings were razed around 1970, leaving the Las Vegas library as the only Carnegie funded library in New Mexico. The Carnegie Public Library is located in the Library Park Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a significant property.
