The City of El Paso has decided to sell one of its most historic properties, the Albert Fall House, following a city council vote. Located at 1725 Arizona Ave., this significant piece of El Paso’s architectural heritage will be sold to Edge Limited Co. for more than $800,000. This marks the first time in nearly 20 years that the property will change hands.

Historical Significance

Built in 1907, the Albert Fall House is a testament to the rich history of El Paso. It was once listed on Preservation Texas’s 2004 Most Endangered Places due to concerns about neglect. The house’s historical value has made it a landmark in the community, and its preservation has been a topic of interest for local historians and residents alike.

Future Prospects

The sale to Edge Limited Co. opens a new chapter for the Albert Fall House. While the specific plans for the property have not been disclosed, the transaction suggests a commitment to maintaining its historical integrity. The community will be watching closely to see how the new ownership will honor the house’s legacy.

ABC-7 has reached out to the city for further comments on the house’s history and future, but a response is still pending. The sale underscores the ongoing efforts to balance development with preservation in El Paso, a city rich in history and culture.
