Plainview Commercial Historic District - Plainview, TX - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Plainview Conmercial Historic District consists of a high concentration of early-twentieth century commercial buildings constructed largely of masonry.

Located within the city's downtown area, the district centers around the Hale County Courthouse, built in 1910; the 600 block of N. Ash; and the 600 and 700 blocks of N. Broadway. Within the district boundaries are 109 structures, and 67 are regarded as contributing to the historic character of the district (see Definition of Ratings). The contributing structures exhibit similar building materials, use, period of construction, scale, and proportions and, when grouped together, present a strong sense of place. This visual cohesiveness is further reinforced by broad, brick-paved streets, which were completed in 1917 and complement the brick courthouse and commercial buildings to an unusual degree. Most of the buildings within the district have been altered, but the majority of these structures retain their historic integrity."
