Several hotels and rooming houses were built for the growing number of businessmen and visitors. It is cited as a good, rare local example of commercial adaptation of the Classical Revival style.","narrative":"Built in 1908-10 and known as \"Sealy Flats,\" this two-story solid brick building at 204 South Oakes in San Angelo served as a hotel and apartment house. Its flat roof, central hall plan and full-width two-story porch with four monumental Doric columns on concrete pedestals give it a Classical Revival character. A second-floor balcony has stick balustrades, the doors have small transoms, and the one-over-one windows have cast stone sills. A narrow one-story brick corridor now links it to an older residence at 109 East Twohig, but only the hotel building is included in the listing. The building reflects San Angelo's growth during the early twentieth century, when cattle and sheep raising expanded and the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad arrived. Hotels and rooming houses were built to house the rising number of businessmen and visitors. Reviewers described it as a rare local example of commercial adaptation of the Classical Revival style. Its physical condition is recorded as good.","period_of_significance":"1908-10","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as good; the site is original.
