They are described as the only restored example in Lampasas of matched High Victorian commercial buildings, with finer Italianate detailing than earlier masonry commercial buildings in town. They anchor a small remnant of late 19th-century commercial structures on 3rd Street.","narrative":"Two matching two-story limestone commercial buildings stand at 408 and 410 East 3rd Street in Lampasas, half a block west of the courthouse square. Built in 1884, the Phillips building on the east was erected by businessman D.W. Phillips for about $3,000, and the Trosper building beside it appears to have been built at the same time. Both share a High Victorian Italianate front with arched openings, scored plaster resembling stone blocks, plaster hoods and a pressed tin cornice. They date from the years when Lampasas was the western end of the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railroad line and 3rd Street became a leading commercial street. Later storefront remodeling and decades of neglect took a toll, but a restoration beginning in 1983 returned the facades to their original appearance. The Phillips building now holds a retail space downstairs and apartments above. They are described as the only restored matched pair of High Victorian commercial buildings left in town.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific date 1884)","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"High Victorian Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exteriors restored and interiors rehabilitated after 1983; the Phillips building has a first-floor retail space and two second-floor apartments, while rehabilitation of the Trosper building had not yet begun.
