L. B. Van Vlack

Hugh Taylor designed this proposed structure in September of 1962 for Mrs. L. B. Van Vlack. The two-story block building consists of 1,650 square feet with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dinning room, a living room, and ample built-in storage space. The exterior was stucco finished with a built-up gable on hip roof. The simple structure was proposed on government lot 4, on the corner of Sunset Road and Escondido Street, just south of McCarran Airport. It is unknown if this project came to fruition or it was merely a proposal for the Van Vlack family.

Bernadine Naomi Van Vlack was born on September 16, 1916 in Bluffton, OH. She married Lyman Boyd Van Vlack in 1936. According to the 1940 US Census, Bernadine and Lyman resided in Los Angeles, CA with their three year old daughter Karolynn Van Vlack. Bernadine was a homemaker at the time, while Lyman worked as an aviation mechanic. In 1958, Bernadine and her husband moved to Las Vegas, NV.

According to her obituary dated April 1997, Bernadine was a retired PBX operator, a member of Teamsters Local No. 995, and a 39 year resident of Las Vegas. Bernadine and Lyman had three additional children together, though they divorced on March 26, 1971 in Clark County.
