Simon Building - San Marcos, TX - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

From the NRHP application, we discover that:
A simple, rectangular, white-plaster, commercial structure, the Simon Building presents a facade subtly detailed with contrasting reddish brown brickwork at its cornice and parapet. Within a bricked frame appears the word "Simon" and the date "1923." The building's division into two distinct but matching halves reveals its construction in two phases: the entire eastern section in 1923, the second floor of the western after 1930.
Upstairs, there are four apartments, three of which open to the stair landing with French doors. Far from the utilitarian character one would expect, the apartments are finely finished in a restrained, sophisticated style that echoes the Arts and Crafts movement.
The Bakery occupies the first floor in the half toward the square, where the Simon Bakery began its production. Many old fixtures are in place.

Update: The bakery has closed. Now the ground floor is home to "Twice Blessed" Consignment Shop which is operated by First United Methodist Church (link). The building appears to be in good condition. Parking is available on the street.
