Its significance is in architecture at the local level.","narrative":"This one-story masonry commercial building at 112 Lufkin Avenue East in Lufkin, Texas, dates to roughly 1904-1908. It has a rectangular plan with three bays, including a recessed chamfered bay. The stuccoed facade is scored, and the entry has double oak doors with brass hardware. Two of the three awning lights survive. A 1908 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map shows a one-story brick structure on the site. City directories show later occupants: in 1928 the Lufkin Daily News and Weekly News and the Watford-Binion Printing Company, and in 1937 Royal Auto Supply and an optometrist. Built for retail use, it still serves that purpose and is in good condition. It was nominated as one of the last relatively unaltered examples of utilitarian commercial architecture in Lufkin's Central Business District. Its significance is in architecture at the local level. It was entered in the register in December 1988 as part of the Angelina County multiple resource nomination.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Early 20th Century Commercial","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and present use is retail.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.017023-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/9679/40967930/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002781.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002781/c769aecd47-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002781/c769aecd47-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cherterich","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fenley_Commercial_Building,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Cherterich</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fenley_Commercial_Building,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967930","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321626"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/fenley-commercial-building-88002781/"}
