This picture was taken from the 18th floor of the Wells Fargo bank and captures the O.T. Bassett Tower. It was built in 1930 by the well-known architect Henry C. Trost. The Tower is registered in the National Register of Historic Places, which highlights it's rich and detailed decor. It rises fifteen stories. The Tower exemplifies the Art Deco Architecture of the Southwest popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Charles N. Bassett built the Bassett Tower as a memorial to his father, Oscar T. Bassett, a pioneer El Pasoan who was one of the founders of El Paso’s first bank, The State National Bank of El Paso, which was organized in March 1881. Until today the O.T. Bassett Tower contributes significantly to the commercial cityscape of El Paso.
