Stone Castle
El Paso is home to some really historic buildings and neighborhoods. One of these is Kern Place situated high above downtown El Paso, and one street — Rim Road — hosts some of the best views in the city. As one might expect from the views, Rim Road has some of the most stunning mansions in the entire city. Those will be the focus of my Wednesday blog. For today, however, we’ll concentrate on some interesting homes situated away from the views of Rim.
From Charming Cottages . . .
The Kern Place district contains an eclectic variety of homes ranging from charming little cottages — many made of stone — to huge mansions in the Federal-style one would normally associate with the East Coast.
. . . to Full-Blown Mansions
The cottages of stone construction are some of the most popular properties in this area, as each has a unique charm.
Example of Stone Construction
Being a long established neighborhood (development began in late 1914), some properties are hidden from view by very mature trees.
Hidden Stone Gem
Other architectural styles in the area range from Southwestern to Victorian, with a little of everything else in between. Click on any of the images below to see what I mean:
