Notes
  • Significance: The First National Bank Building was built circa 1882-1883 for Joshua Raynolds, President of the First National Bank of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The establishment of the bank in El Paso was prompted by an anticipated real estate boom due to the arrival of the railroad in 1881. One of El Paso's earliest banks, it benefited from a prosperous business until it failed in 1933. Architecturally, it possesses Italianate details, but is primarily of the Second Empire style. An elaborately decorated building, it is the only example of this style in the proposed South El Paso Street Historic District (Summer, 1980).
