Texas Historic Sites Atlas

A two-story, ell-shaped rusticated limestone building with main facades on both Main St. and 9th St. The Main St. portion contains the fire station and the first floor was altered in 1971 to accommodate the fire trucks. The building material is an unsympathetic yellow brick. But the second floor retains the three bays of coupled windows, each group connected by galvanized iron architraves. The building is crowned by an iron cornice. The 9th St. portion, now housing the Chamber of Commerce, contains flat arched openings and is also crowned by a pressed tin cornice.
