At 145 feet (44 m), the 12-story Mills Building was the tallest building in El Paso when it was completed.

The building stands on a corner site opposite San Jacinto Plaza, with a gracefully curved street façade that wraps around the south and east sides. Like many of Trost's designs, the Anson Mills Building's overall form and strong verticality, as well as details of the ornamentation and cornice, are reminiscent of the Chicago …
