The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"Built three years after the state created its Highway Department, it housed the district engineer's offices and reflects San Angelo's role as a transportation center for western Texas. It represents the arrival of state and federal participation in road building and the shift away from dependence on the railroad. Its vernacular design is typical of state-owned buildings of the 1920s.","narrative":"Built in 1920 at 100 Paint Rock Road in San Angelo, this two-story building served the Texas Highway Department, which the state had created three years earlier. It housed the offices of the district engineer. The structure is symmetrical and rectangular, with stucco over concrete block, a flat roof and a simple design. Four bands circle the building at the water table, the second-floor sills, and the top and bottom of the parapet. A centered entry sits in a slightly projecting one-story, square-arched opening with stone trim. Windows are six-over-six double-hung sash, with small decorative ceramic tiles set above the ground floor. The building was listed for its link to the development of the local highway system and for showing San Angelo's role as a transportation center. It reflects the start of state and federal involvement in road building and a shift from reliance on the railroad toward road travel. The state highway agency objected to the listing, but the building was listed.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as good, and the site is original.
