New sign
The most beautiful buildings downtown and houses in El Paso
where designed by Henry C. Trost and the only thing he gets is a plaque?
This man deserves more than a plaque. A life size bronze sculpture of
Henry C. Trost should be somewhere in a plaza downtown.
Take away the Anson Mills Bldg, The Banner Building, The Cortez Building,
The White House Bldg, The Plaza Hotel, Camino Real Hotel,
The Popular Store Bldg, The Abdou Building (where I live),
W.S. Hills Commercial Building (white building next to the Abdou Bldg.),
The Newberry Building (Next to The Percolator), The State National Bank Bldg
on San Antonio, Singer Sewing Co. building, Bassett Tower, and the Caples Building
and what is left would be downtown El Paso without the Architecture of Henry C. Trost.
