Building at 113-119 East Concho

This one-story buff-brick building fills an entire blockface on East Concho Street in San Angelo. Built in 1928 for $65,224, it was constructed for a Packard and Terraplane automobile dealership during a prosperous period in the city's growth. The dealership failed in the 1930s, and an International Harvester farm implement and truck dealer later occupied the building. A long seven-bay central block is flanked by two smaller identical end bays. The center features an arched entryway with a statuary niche beneath a curvilinear Mission Revival parapet, with three arched display windows on each side. The end bays have large display windows framed in heavily detailed cast stone, and corner pavilions with scrolled parapets, finials, broken pediments and round windows. San Angelo craftsman Dwight Holmes produced the notable stonework. A fire in the 1970s gutted the interior, though the exterior has been preserved. It is regarded as one of the finest Mission Revival buildings in the city.
