Remarks: H. D. Slater is listed as an El Paso residential client in an undated Trost & Trost notebook now in the collection of Trost family.This listing is very puzzling, since Slater lived at 520 Prospect Drive from 1910 to 1920, at least. 520 Prospect Drive is a picturesque yellow stone house, which is unlike anything the Trost’s designed. In 1925, later is listed at 516 Prospect Drive, which is a typical Sunset Heights house with no Trost features. Residential also refers to apartments.
