Egg House / Telephone Building
Circa 1929
The Egg Association formed circa 1929 as a local cooperative, selling and distributing local eggs to tourist oriented businesses, or to market in Las Vegas. High school boys studying agriculture were part of the enterprise. The Association built a two-story house here where the eggs were processed and sold.
Circa 1944 the Egg House was converted to become the first freestanding telephone office in town. Once the office was moved to this site the company expanded from 4 telephone lines to 40. In 1966 the building was replaced with a more modern structure.
Marker is on West Mesquite Boulevard, on the right when traveling west.
