The work of Trost & Trost in El Paso
The records behind these stops attribute them to Trost & Trost. They carry the buildings and not the life behind them, so this page keeps to what the listings themselves hold. Chicago School is the style recorded on 4 of the stops.
12 stops, 0.7 miles end to end. The dated ones run from 1910 to 1928.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops.
