El Paso, a city in the far western part of Texas, represents a blend of Texas, Mexico, and the Southwest like no other city has. The city is a showcase of architectural styles by architects in El Paso, representing every period of Texas history, and even earlier, going back to the Republic of Mexico and even the Kingdom of Spain. The more you dive into the buildings, the more you appreciate the timeless designs and the exquisite level of detail.
The credit for this architectural richness of El Paso goes to one of the country’s most versatile and prolific architects, architect Henry C. Trost. His firm, Trost & Trost, designed more than 500 buildings from the Pecos River to Tucson, mastering styles from Prairie to Spanish Colonial to art deco. Today, El Pasoans are rediscovering the architecture that graces their city with its distinct sense of place because of the work of the Texas Trost Society and a few architects in El Paso who are revitalizing Trost’s iconic buildings.
