Preserving an Icon: The Morelli House
Originally built in 1959 by Antonio Morelli, the music director for the Sands Hotel Copa Room, this mid-century modern residence is a treasured piece of Las Vegas history. Now under the stewardship on the Nevada Architect Foundation,, the Morelli House is being restored and revitalized to serve as an educational and cultural resource, a living example of Nevada's architectural heritage.
