Avenida Juarez and Avenida 16 de Septiembre 
Across from the museum is a building constructed in the 1920's and named after George D. Sauer, a merchant dealing in groceries, wines, liquors, cigarettes, and import-exports.  Sauer & Company existed at this site until 1934 and dealt in the beer and bottled drinks business in both Juarez and El Paso.  In later years, this building housed the El Paso Trolley Company, Juarez Traction Co., El Paso Electric Co., and Southwest Telephone & Telegraph, all of which provided their services in Juarez. Medical offices, law firms, and public notaries continue to occupy the building.
