Oliver's Club Demolition

The deliberate burning of Oliver's Club at Stateline Lake Tahoe. This casino was built as the Tahoe Village Resort in 1946, near current-day Kahle Drive. The casino went through a series of owners in its 20 years of operation, later being renamed the Casino de Paris and then Oliver's Club (named after new owner Oliver Kahle). It was burned for fire department training in February 1965. The Douglas County Administrative Building is now on this site.
