Nevada November
We want to hear from you!

Do you ever find yourself saying," I wonder what that building was?" or "I wonder who built that building?" while driving around Nevada?

For the Month of November we will be doing Henry's History Lessons about buildings, and their history, around Nevada. If you have a building you would like to know more about email us at director@mainstreetnevada.org and let us know. We will select one building each week to highlight.
Get your goblins and princesses ready for a really ghoul time!

Main Street Nevada is currently participating in a Market study of the Nevada Community. Earlier this Month two surveys were distributed. One to business owners, and one to consumers. The surveys were created and written at the state level and were composed of questions to target our community's specifics. We had over 550 responses! The Market Study Committee is currently reviewing the information received, and will present its findings and the next actionable steps in October.

Thinking of doing some tuckpointing?

Masonry—brick, stone, terra-cotta, and concrete block—is found on nearly every historic building. Structures with all-masonry exteriors come to mind immediately, but most other buildings at least have masonry foundations or chimneys. Although generally considered "permanent," masonry is subject to deterioration, especially at the mortar joints. Repointing, also known simply as "pointing" or—somewhat inaccurately—"tuck pointing"*, is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from the joints of a masonry wall and replacing it with new mortar. Properly done, repointing restores the visual and physical integrity of the masonry. Improperly done, repointing not only detracts from the appearance of the building, but may also cause physical damage to the masonry units themselves.
City of Nevada Announcements
City crews installed some of the new lighted stop signs at Sixth and Lincoln Highway. These illuminated signs are solar powered by small panels mounted to the light pole. The corner of Sixth and Lincoln Highway will now have a 4-way stop, rather than a stoplight. It is a little hard to see how these new signs work but if you come check them out at night you will see the technology at work.
