Berkley Square, Historic district in West Las Vegas, United States.

Berkley Square encompasses 148 homes built between 1954 and 1955, featuring Contemporary Ranch architecture with varied roof designs and window patterns.

Paul Revere Williams designed this neighborhood in 1949, creating Nevada's first residential subdivision developed specifically for African-American residents during segregation.

The neighborhood stands as a representation of civil rights progress in Las Vegas, where African American population grew from 150 to over 3,000 after World War II.

The district follows Federal Housing Administration standards with limited access points and separate sidewalks divided by grass strips for enhanced pedestrian safety.

Thomas L. Berkley, an attorney from Oakland, California, financed this development alongside Edward A. Freeman and J.J. Byrnes to address housing needs.
