Camino Real Hotel with Street Lamp
The picture shows parts of the old Paso del Norte Hotel, now the Camino Real. Designed by Henry C. Trost and opened in 1912, the Hotel was popular for its elegance. Also, it became a hotspot for cattlemen, ranchers, and especially for guests to see the Mexican Revolution from the rooftop. The sign which is attached to the lamp marks the "Golden Horseshoe District". It refers to the rampant time when the downtown area was filled with gambling dens, saloons and other diversions and crime and gunfights were a daily occurrence. Today, this wild west past is commemorated by plaques around town.
