Join us as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition Neighborhoods and Shared Memories: Austin Terrace. Known as El Paso’s first metropolitan suburb, Austin Terrace is a historically designated neighborhood located in Central El Paso. Its diverse architectural styles, unique street layout, and lush greenery were influenced by notable architects like Mabel C. Welch, Henry C. Trost, and Otto H. Thorman. Construction of homes began in the 1920s and catered primarily to wealthy El Pasoans. In addition to the homes in the neighborhood, institutions like Loretto Academy and the Radford School were influential forces in shaping the neighborhood’s identity. Austin Terrace explores this history from the 1910s through 1970s while showcasing items borrowed from families and schools in the area.

Member & VIP preview from 5 pm to 6 pm with light bites and refreshments provided. Opens to the public from 6 pm to 8 pm.
