Source Caption: This looks old, but it isn't ancient. This is what Commercial Row looked like in the late 1970's - we know this because Fitzgeralds on the far right went up in '76. You can see a corner of Harolds as well. By this time these historic storefronts had become quite tired - pawn shops and vacancies. But what if these had been preserved? I can envision a block like this being part of the Reno rebirth. But sadly, and true to form, this was razed... for a vacant lot. This is why it's important to monitor whats happening with the old Masonic building, the NCO building and others. Consider joining the Historic Reno Preservation Society
