Montana Historic District

Montana Historic District

On rolling terrain, approximately one mile northeast of El Paso's central business district, the Montana Avenue Historic District encompasses six continuous blocks of historical residential development in the Franklin Heights Addition. The historical layout of the neighborhood followed a rectilinear grid which did not include driveways, resulting in a closeness of the houses that reinforces the neighborhood's cohesiveness. Brick-clad 2-story Prairie Style, Classical Revival, and Queen Anne dwellings of the very early 1900s prevail in the district, with a few examples of other popular and revival styles also present. The rhythmic pattern of front porches and a uniform setback on each block characterize the neighborhood and contribute to its sense of visual continuity. The district’s resources largely retain their integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship that as a whole promote the neighborhood’s largely unaltered sense of setting, feeling and association as an early 20th century residential neighborhood. With 69 of 104 resources classified as Contributing elements (including 51 houses, 2 churches, and 13 garages), and the majority of noncontributing properties being post-1954 garages built on the alleys, the Montana Avenue Historic District retains a high level of historic and architectural integrity. -United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historical Places Registration Form, Oct. 1990
