  • Special Topics in Art History: the Architecture and Urbanism of El Paso, 1659-1945
    Dr. Max Grossman ARTH 3399 Fox Fine Arts A460 Summer 2021 Office hours: by appointment CRN# 36025 Office tel: 915-747-7966 M-Th 9:20-11:50am [email protected] Hybrid Special Topics in Art History: The Architecture and Urbanism of El Paso, 1659-1945 El Paso has one of the richest architectural patrimonies in the American Southwest. Various Native American tribes—such as the Manso, Suma and Apache—occupied the region for many centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards in 1500s. It was in 1659 that the colonizers established themselves at El Paso del Norte, at the point of intersection between the Camino Real and the Rio Grande, and began to convert the Natives to Catholicism and develop the surrounding area for agriculture. They founded a series of adobe mission churches along the river valley and in 1789 established a presidio at San Elizario, adapting the architectural traditions of the indigenous peoples for their own needs. In the eighteenth century, El Paso del Norte, today called Ciudad Juárez, was the largest population center along the northern frontier of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The Mexican period (1821-1848) did not see any significant changes in terms of the architecture of the Borderlands region. In 1827, a wealthy merchant named Juan María Ponce de Léon crossed the Rio Grande and established the first permanent settlement in what is now El Paso—a an adobe ranch with a corral and several other outlying buildings. With the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848 and the annexation of the vast region north of the Rio Grande to the United States, Ponce’s adobe ranch was converted into a military fort, which would become the first architectural nucleus of El Paso, incorporated as a city in 1873.

  • El Paso Historical Soil Sample Health Consultation
    El Paso Historical Soil Sample Health Consultation HEALTH CONSULTATION Review of Historical Soil Sampling Results EL PASO COUNTY METAL SURVEY SITE EL PASO, EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS JULY 20, 2001 Prepared by: The Texas Department of Health under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry El Paso Historical Soil Sample Health Consultation BACKGROUND AND STATEMENT OF ISSUES The Texas Department of Health (TDH) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) were asked by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine the public health significance of arsenic and lead found in historical soil samples collected in El Paso by the Texas Air Control Board (predecessor of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission) in 1989 and by graduate students from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1993 and 1994. Specifically, EPA asked TDH and ATSDR to determine whether confirmation of these data is warranted. History Historically, there have been several potential point sources for metals contamination in El Paso. These sources include the ASARCO Smelter on the west side of the city, the Federal Smelter in central El Paso, and the Phelps Dodge Copper refinery on the east side of the city. Much of the history pertaining to the study of industrial pollution in the El Paso has focused on the ASARCO Smelter which occupies 123 acres of a 585 acre property along the Rio Grande, near the U.S -Mexico border (Figure 1). Originally known as El Paso Smelting Works, the plant was built in 1887 and was the first smelter in Texas.
