Las Vegas is rich in architectural history. The building that is the office and lab for Billingsley Engineering was carefully restored by Rod Billingsley. The building is a brick structure combining the elements of classical architecture such as a temple front with a central predimented parapet and pilasters. Also, Romanesque architecture is featured in the round arched windows. This building is a great example of twentieth century brick masonry. The building is located in the Library Park Historic District, one of nine historic districts in Las Vegas. Built in 1923 as the Methodist Church South - the congregation formed in 1881 and was affiliated with the Southern Methodist Conference. The two Methodist groups in Las Vegas united in 1939 and the building was sold to the Christian Scientists. In 1974 it began to be used by the city and was purchased by Billingsley in 2000.
