The Occidental Life Building is caddy corner to our office downtown. It was built in 1917 for the Occidental Life Insurance Company and designed by Henry C. Trost of Trost & Trost architecture, El Paso. Although it’s very well restored on the outside, the interior space is not the most desirable. We considered renting space in it a few years ago when we were short on space and I wasn’t very impressed by the quality. The fire escape is on the Berger Briggs building across the parking lot from the Occidental Life Building, and the last photo is of the brick and glass on the New Mexico Bank & Trust Building on the west end of the parking were I stood to do the photos.
