Wallace Apartments

El Paso, El Paso County

Marker Text

Built in 1903 and named for owner George E. Wallace, these apartments were designed by one of El Paso's earliest architects, Edward Kneezell (1855-1926). The two-story stucco structure, which originally housed five-room apartments, is of mission revival style, and features a large circular two-story arcaded veranda on one end and small decorative mission parapets set over three-part arcaded entry ways. The apartments are an interesting physical reminder of life in El Paso in the early twentieth century. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1985
