South FL Paso street.
To form any conception OF the
wonderful change that has come over
FL Paso street one should compare the
Photographic views taken in 1882
with those Of today. In 1881 Fl Paso
street was a dirty thOroughfare lined
on both sides with uncouth adobe huts
from the acequia crossing IL at the
to the old acequia on Second street;
and after the big rain of July g. 1881,
its name should have been mud. Just
before and after the railroads were
building here, there was great rush
and demand for store rooms by retail
merchants. saloon keepers and shops;
snd every old adobe found a tenant
al the highest rentals As soon as
rented holes would have to be knocked
through the fronts and windows doors
ana fronts placed 10 let in light and
customers
During that year only five new and
modern store buildings were erected on
III Paso street. viz % the one story

corner OF FL Paso and San Antonio

and used as a grocery store by the
