Merrick Building
Merrick Building
The Merrick building was built in 1887 in the Victorian style popular at that time. Constructed by John J. Steward and William J. Carpenter, Charles Merrick operated his clothing and tailoring business on the first floor. During the Mexican Revolution it was turned into a major arms dealer called the Shelton Payne Arms Company. In 1931 the Hollywood Cafe replaced the arms store. The St. Charles Hotel was operated on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building and was once considered the longest running hotel in El Paso until it closed in 1996. The building was beautifully renovated in 2000 and today houses a retail store and apartments.
