Stratton-Stricker Building - Texas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Marker Number: 18271 Marker Text: In 1922, business partners Golladay Stratton, Sr. and Henry J. Stricker purchased land for their expanding furniture company. Architect Henry L. Spencer designed this 1923 Neoclassical Revival style building with general contractor S.B. Swigert Construction. The red brick-clad building includes a basement and five stories with riveted steel framing, strong enough to withstand the devastating 1953 tornado. The building's unique interior features a grand staircase with ornamental woodwork, pressed-tin ceiling tiles, louvered warehouse-style windows, and a winged-mezzanine level on the second floor. Until the 1980s, Stratton's three sons operated the business. This building and the furniture company are a reminder of Waco's original marketplace and downtown district. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2015 Marker is Property of the State of Texas
