The architectural firm Carroll and Daeuble designed new wings for the Turney Mansion, which accommodated the Kress Collection for the El Paso Museum of Art in 1960. The east wing provided a lower, outside entrance to art classrooms and a theater for children. Tom Lea designed a lintel for the stairwell door. For his design he chose three types of headdresses and the words “PASARON POR AQUI.” The words are similar to his Pass of the North mural which represents the diverse cultures that came through El Paso. Join us for a presentation by The Ysleta del Sur Pueblo (Tigua Natives) about the significance of the warbonnet and a traditional dance by the Social Dance Group.
