It incorporates walls of an earlier 1893 stone structure.","why_significant":"The building is cited as an example of the remodeling and expansion of downtown buildings during the 1920s boom, notable for its handsome, restrained design. It is also associated with W.D. Holcomb, an important businessman and the city's largest printer, who printed the San Angelo Press-News.","narrative":"Located on West Beauregard Street in San Angelo's commercial row, this two-story buff brick building dates to 1928. It has a flat roof, a partial basement, and a plain cast stone cornice. The second floor has four sets of paired 2/2 double-hung wood windows with a cast stone stringcourse and decorative rectangular vents above each window set. The ground floor has transoms, a flat metal awning, newer display windows and a recessed paired entry. Two arched-transom openings on either side of the facade once gave access to the upper floor, though one is now blocked. The building was part of the 1920s boom, when several downtown buildings were remodeled and expanded, and it reuses the rear and side walls of an 1893 stone structure. It served for a time as the Model Steam Laundry Company. From the 1930s it was owned by W.D. Holcomb and his partner Ed Blanton. Holcomb was an important businessman and the city's largest printer, producing the San Angelo Press-News in the early twentieth century.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is listed as good; the site is original.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.724272-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/23/9702/40970223/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002554.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970223","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001350"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tom-green-county/holcomb-blanton-print-shop-88002554/"}
