Downtown El Paso - 1940 - 1949

Dale Resler while on the City Council worked on getting the railroad tracks depressed. This photograph is before the railroad tracks were depressed. Before the tracks were depressed people had to cross the tracks causing problems for all of the theaters, restaurants, and other businesses. This photograph taken from Frank Mangan's book, "El Paso in Pictures". From this photograph you can see Hotel Cortez, San Jacinto Plaza, and Cleveland Square.

Area: Central / Downtown
