One of architectural firm Trost & Trost’s most iconic structures, this historic two-story trapezoidal building near the heart of Downtown El Paso fronts on both Texas Avenue and San Antonio Ave. Designed in a Second Renaissance Revival style, each facade is divided into five bays by pilasters that rise two floors to support a prominent entablature and parapet. This classical framework is executed in blocks of marble, sharply scored to give a three- dimensional richness, with other details executed with painted, galvanized iron. The second floor bays are infilled with the original three part windows while the ground floor has been modernized with contemporary display windows, signage, and awnings. Finished in 1927, Henry Trost and his client Mary S. Hills had the foresight to design the structure to accommodate future vertical growth in an ever-densifying city center. The site now features a thoughtfully designed proposed-development for a four-story addition recognizing Trost’s original intent and following through in a manner that honors that legacy while paying homage and respect to his work.
