      A walking distance from Downtown on Ogden and 9th Street you will find probably one of the most unusual homes in Las Vegas. Officially listed as the Historic Site, this house was built in 1932 when Las Vegas was only a small spot on the Nevada  map. What makes it so different that it took 10 years to build the property with plenty of help from numerous prisoners populating local jails. The original owner of the land was nobody else but Mr. Frank Wait, who at that time held the office of Las Vegas Sheriff and his laborers were recruited directly from behind the bars where he had put them himself! 
         What sounds really like a paradox: it would be completely illegal to build this house today.  For one simple reason - some of the materials used in construction were authentic Native American Petroglyphs and stones presently protected in National Parks and Indian Reservations You can still see them imbedded in the walls. But those were different times and the new laws have been passed later.
        This impressive property changed hands several times. For a while dancing crowds invaded the quiet dwelling,  setting it up as a dance studio. Then again it became a private residence. New owners added more rooms onto the building, making it more spacious and comfortable. In 1995 the house at 9th & Ogden became officially designated as a Historic Site. It is considered today to be one of the oldest houses in Las Vegas Down Town area.  
    When the present owners  saw the house's location, they immediately realized its hidden potential. Only a walking distance from a Court House, and a true gem of architecture. They could not resist. The deal was finalized in 2 days and today you are welcome to enter the gates of 
"The Stained Glass Wedding Chapel". 
    The owners, who also collect antiques, promptly went out of their way to restore and  furnish the Chapel with proper decor. Inside, you will find plenty of unusual objects and artifacts that remind us of days long gone. Just look at delicate hand crafted ornaments of the 17th century authentic pulpit that heard through the years so many sermons. Also,  very beautiful museum quality iron church doors and colorful stained glass windows remind us of ancient cathedrals.  
     Outside, an old tree with its huge gnarled branches casts a shadow so,  after the tour of the house, you can relax on the patio while listening to the sound of water flowing lazily in the stone fountain near the pool. 
     When the hosts will show you all the unusual spots around the Church,  you will instantly know that this place is not like any other Historic Site. 
    And you will always remember "The Stained Glass Wedding Chapel."
