Historic mansion designed by El Paso's first woman architect hits market for $1.29M
An architectural treasure dating back nearly a century is for sale in Central El Paso.
The 5100-square-foot mansion, located at 3009 Silver Avenue in the Castle/Manhattan Heights neighborhood, is on the market for $1.29 million. The historic four-bedroom, six-bathroom home dates back to 1927, according to its listing.
The architecture of the property is distinctive — the charming home was designed by Mabel Welch, El Paso's first woman architect, who is credited with introducing many of the Spanish-Mediterranean style homes in Manhattan Heights and across El Paso.
It is estimated that Welch built more than 1,500 homes in the Borderland, according to the El Paso County Historical Society.
Inside the home are Welch's signature archways, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces. The backyard features rose gardens, a lap pool, and a large wall for privacy.
Here's a closer look at the home:
