Ciudad Juarez, Mexico History
San Luis Building
Avenida Juarez and Avenida 16 de Septiembre
On this corner we find a brick building built to house the money exchange and bar known as Club San Luis. It was named after the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane flown by Charles Lindbergh on his famous transatlantic flight. A small replica of the plane can be seen on the front of the building. In 1929, Charles Lindbergh visited Juarez and met with Mexican aviator Capitan Emilio Carranza, famous for his record setting flights and greatly admired by the public along the border. |
