The Healy Wilder Building on 208 W. Alamo St. is just one of the 100+ contributing buildings within the U.S. National Register of Historic Places' "Brenham Downtown Historic District".
Per the
Downtown Brenham Historic District Walking Tour pamphlet:
"This fine commercial Victorian building boasts one of the few pressed metal cornices still intact in Downtown Brenham. The brick detail work is also notable, as are the old garage doors. Skylights were used to light the long dark spaces that otherwise had limited street-front exposure for natural light."
