On a hot, dry, dusty day in August of 1909, Peter Buol stood proudly outside his newly opened office in the recently incorporated railroad town of Las Vegas. The sign above him read: 'Real Estate and Insurance...Peter Buol.' A grainy photo captured the moment that marked the start of what has become the second oldest continuously operated business in Las Vegas.
Now, one hundred years later, Peter Buol's Real Estate and Insurance Company lives on as Cragin and Pike Insurance. The journey over the last century saw the company change and grow along with the city that has become world famous.
