[U.S. Soldiers Camped in the Heart of El Paso, Texas]

Postcard of U.S. Soldiers camped in the heart of El Paso, Texas. The aforementioned is what the caption reads. U.S. Soldiers go about their daily routines while they are at ease in their camp. A group of 4 soldiers are seen here sitting down and they appear to be eating. Three soldiers are at the water faucet, which is on the left, and they are collecting water. And two other soldiers are carrying buckets of water from left to right. Beyond the Army tents, an unknown building is under construction. After reviewing other photographs in the Border Heritage Collection archives; the building columns, in this image, are very similar to the building columns, under construction, in the Otis Aultman image A 5783. Aultman image A 5783 is an image of the Richard Caples Building under construction. The Richard Caples Building was completed in 1909-10 and was designed by architect Henry C. Trost. If the building under construction is in fact the Richard Caples Building, this postcard can be dates around 1909-1910. The Richard Caples Building is located in at 300 E San Antonio Avenue, which is in the heart of downtown El Paso, Texas.
