Posener Building (Little Caples)
The Posener Building was erected for El Paso entrepreneur and former Mayor Richard Caples in 1910. The building, designed in what the architects Trost & Trost described as a “New American” style, was demolished in 1941. The structure was unusually rounded at the south and western elevations, and was very unique in appearance. It was diagonally across the San Antonio-Mesa intersection from the Richard Caples building, and was lovingly called the Little Caples.
