A rare and interesting photograph which documents the diverse array of residents in El Paso, Texas in the 1880s.
Located at 218 South El Paso, Link’s operated in the city as early as 1883. The proprietor was El Paso pioneer resident James Marshal Kinne, who later ran it with Louis Toenniges. It advertised itself as “the leading house in the West for ladies and gents,” with fresh fish and game, oysters of every style, and ice cream on hand at all hours. Also visible in the photograph is the office of H.C. Paulsen, a railroad ticket broker. An 1888 article published in the El Paso times mentions Paulsen relocating the 216 South El Paso Street.
Loss and soiling to mount, otherwise good condition.
From the estate of Ron Lerch.
