History

La Hacienda occupies the historic adobe residence built for El Paso pioneer Simeon Hart, founder of the flour mill El Molino (Hart's Mill) on the Rio Grande. Over its long life the property served as a Butterfield stagecoach stop in the late 1850s, a hospital during the Great Depression, and reportedly a camp for Pancho Villa's forces in 1913. From 1940 until the mid-1990s the building was famous as La Hacienda restaurant. The adobe structure is one of the oldest sites in El Paso.
