The Abdou Building is a historic seven-story building in El Paso, Texas. It was built for the Rio Grande Valley Bank in 1910,[2] and designed by Trost & Trost.[1] In 1925, it was renamed the Abdou Building after its new owner, Sam Abdou, who purchased it for $150,000.[2] The same year, the American Trust and Saving Bank leased the building; one of its directors, Charles Klink was Abdou's stepson.[2] By 1930, the El Paso Bank and Leavell & Sherman both had offices in the building.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 24, 1980.[1]
