Alfred Kleyhauer at Poodle Dog Barber Shop c. 1910
We believe this is the Poodle Dog Barber Shop, at 318 San Antonio Ave. Alfred Kleyhauer, my grandfather, was a barber in El Paso from mid-1909 to June 1911 and worked at the Poodle Dog Barber Shop during that time. The barber shop apparently got its name from the Poodle Dog Restaurant next door at 314-16 San Antonio. That restaurant was named after the famous Poodle Dog Restaurant in San Francisco, according to an ad in the Aug 11, 1911 El Paso Times. The ad claims its meals are similar to those served at its 'Frisco namesake. The original Poodle Dog Restaurant opened in San Francisco in 1849 and was reputed to be the first and most famous of all San Francisco French restaurants. The Poodle Dog Barber Shop was next door to the Caples Building at the corner of San Antonio and N. Mesa St, where in 1911 on the 5th Floor, Francisco Madero planned for the Battle of Ciudad Juarez. It is very possible that Francisco Madero went to the Poodle Dog Barber Shop to have his daily shaves. Perhaps my grandfather was his barber! And perhaps that is why my grandmother, Annie Kleyhauer, had her picture taken with President Madero on May 11, 1911, the day after the Battle in Juarez. (You can also see this picture on Digie)
