Architecture and Landscaping El Paso, Texas

Both the Spanish and the Native American peoples of Meso America and the Southwest built with adobe, made from readily available raw materials. The thick walls served as insulation. Oscar T. Bassett brought in the first dimensional lumber by railcar. El Pasoans who came from the United States built wood and brick homes with which they were familiar. These new building materials burned easily and prompted creation of a fire department.
