Photo of the alligator pond in San Jacinto Plaza. A crowd watches intensely as a man keeps the alligator at bay while he retrieves something. Live alligators were a prominent feature in San Jacinto Plaza until they were permanently removed in the late 1960's and moved to the El Paso Zoo due to the harm that was inflicted upon them by the people. in the background the Hotel St. Regis is visible alongside the Mills Building.
