Downtown Street Scene, El Paso,TX, circa 1906

St. Louis St. (Mills St. Today) facing west. The Federal Building (corner of St. Louis & Oregon) and Hotel Sheldon can be seen in the left. San Jacinto Plaza is directly across the Federal Building, on the right side of the photo. The two story building across from the Hotel Sheldon was the original Mills Building. Anson Mills tore down the building in late 1909 to begin construction on the new historic present day Mills Building designed by the architectural firm of Trost & Trost. The White House and Hotel McCoy were yet to be built as well.
