Bibliography: (1) El Paso Times, March 16, 1916 (Thursday), page not known: Mrs. Eli G. Krupp will be `at home’ very informally to a few friends Saturday afternoon at her home in Kern Place (the information is from the Forty Years Ago, column in the El Paso Times, March 16, 1956.)
(2) Rufe P. March, New Buildings for Year, $4,000,000 Bungalow for Eli Krupp, El Paso Herald, August 26, 1916, Progress and Building Section, page 6: A contract has been let for the erection of a six room bungalow for Eli Krupp in Kern Place on the north mesa. The cost will be $5500. V. E. Ware is the contractor, and Trost & Trost are the architects. In that it can not be explained hat is, Mrs. Krupp could not have been at home’ informally in March, if a contract to build her house was not let until August of the same year. However, the authors put more credence in the Times report; the Herald report was evidently stale news, dragged out of a reporter’s file for a special edition on recent El Paso architecture.
