El Paso Street in 1910s

El Paso Street in 1910s

The image shows El Paso street in the 1910s. The street is regarded as oldest street in El Paso and once was the center of the little town at the Rio Grande. The big building to the right is the Hotel Paso del Norte. Built in 1912 by the architectural firm Trost & Trost, it was made out of steel, brick and terra cotta. The interior was very elegant, especially the ornate lobby, which was topped with a Tiffany glass dome. The building was remodeled and renovated several times. Over the years, the Paso del Norte Hotel became a hot spot for cattleman, ranchers, and especially for guests to see the Mexican Revolution from the rooftop. In 1993, the Angeles Corporation of Mexico purchased and renamed it Camino Real Hotel. Photographer is looking south.
