Anson Mills Building, Chicago School skyscraper in El Paso, Texas.
The Anson Mills Building is a 12-story skyscraper at the intersection of North Oregon Street and West Mills Street in El Paso. The structure was built with a reinforced concrete frame and stands approximately 145 feet tall.
The Anson Mills Building was designed and built by architectural firm Trost & Trost between 1910 and 1911. The structure was constructed on the site of the former Ponce de León ranch.
The building displays vertical lines and decorative details that follow Chicago School design principles. These features remain visible and shape how the structure looks when you walk past it.
Access to the building's interior may be limited since various offices are housed inside. The best way to appreciate the structure is to view the facade from the street and examine the architectural details.
This structure holds the distinction of being the second reinforced concrete skyscraper built in the United States, pioneering advanced construction methods. In 1974, the windows were modernized with mirrored glass panels that remain visible today.
