Guess How Many City Hall Buildings El Paso Has Had?

The first City Hall in El Paso couldn't really be identified and the second was probably the coolest looking one. Today, it's once again kinda hidden in downtown El Paso.

El Paso has had a total of 4, "official", City Hall buildings and a few "unofficial" ones between the 1800's, when El Paso was officially incorporated, and today.

The first City Hall is the one that had multiple locations because it did not have a set location. It was wherever city fathers decided to meet, usually a saloon. Go figure.

Those first locations throw off the count a bit but, when it comes to official, dedicated structures; El Paso has a City Hall count of 4.

What Happened To El Paso City Hall?

The first one, (after the first ones ... plural), was built in 1899. It was a cool, capitol-esque looking building that stood at San Antonio and Myrtle until it was demolished in 1959.

After that one came down, city business was handled in the city - county building at 500 San Antonio making it "City Hall" until 1979.  That building has since been torn down, rebuilt and now houses the El Paso County Courthouse.

Where Is City Hall Now?

The 4th and current location for El Paso City Hall is downtown at 300 N. Campbell.

Throughout its history, city hall has gone from a place you'd never notice to a beautiful stone building, to a concrete and glass behemoth to, again, a non-descript building you could almost walk right past and not even notice.
