El Paso U. S. Courthouse

The image shows the El Paso U. S. Courthouse. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas met here from 1936 until 2010. The building still houses the U.S. Pretrial Services Office and the U.S. Probation Office. It was completed in 1936 and served historically as a courthouse and as a government office building. It is located at 511 East San Antonio Avenue. The Neo-Classical Revival facades and durable materials of the blocklike exterior communicate the importance of the functions housed therein to the citizens of the community. The government commissioned artist Thomas C. Lea, III to paint a mural (Pass of the North) in the courthouse in 1938.
