El Paso Street in 1940s - El Paso, Texas

The image shows El Paso Street in the 1940s. To the right, the El Paso del Norte Hotel can be seen (today Camino Real Hotel). It was built in 1912 and was one of the most popular hotels at that time. The interior was very elegant, especially the ornate lobby, which was topped with a Tiffany glass dome.
