These painted signs were recently exposed after the demolition of an old building in Downtown El Paso.  The John T. Muir Building was built by Trost and Trost architects in 1916.  It was originally a beautiful building but had been remodeled at some point. Our City council voted to demolish it because: "It is not on the historic register, It's a non-contributing historic building and it has been irreparably altered."  Sad - but on the other hand, it's pretty cool that these signs were exposed!

Unfortunately, I think they are going to be covered up again because the plans are to build a Walgreens on this now-empty lot.
