The Marketplace celebrates Mexico

Casa Medina was filled with the best offerings of a Mexican Marketplace ... from civilizations and ancestry past, to every town and village, large and small, with generations of artisans. The most successful product was Mexican Tile. American homes of the 1940s-1960s with Mexican Tile adorning walls and floors most likely came from Casa Medina.

The Medina Homes in Juarez

With the success of Casa Medina, Fausto Medina was able to build three small homes on the block adjacent to the Store. Hector's grandparents lived in the middle home with uncles and aunts to each side. The three back yards were interconnected and the perfect playground for "the Village of Primos" with fifteen cousins and countess neighborhood friends.
