Building facade collapses onto car in Downtown El Paso, Police says

(UDPATE- 12:00 PM)- The El Paso Police Department has confirmed that the building facade at 800 block S El Paso St collapsed onto a car and says that a car never crashed into the building.

According to police, officers are on scene for public safety.

The department is asking that the public stays away from the area.

The building is used as a general store, but it has historical relevance to the El Paso area. It was originally built back in 1884 as an International Customs House.

According to the Texas Historical Commission, it's the oldest building in the Segundo Barrio. It was built after the Treaty of 1884, which clarified what land belonged to the U.S and Mexico after the Mexican War.

Land around the area was still disputed for years afterwards, mainly the Chamizal area. That wasn't solved until the 1970s, but the building in the Segundo Barrio was one of the first to establish the neighborhood as land in the United States.

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA)- According to the El Paso Fire Department, a car has crashed into a building Wednesday morning at the 800 block of S El Paso St.

The El Paso Fire Department says that the call came in at 9:28 a.m. and there were no transports.
