Why it's listed

Located at 11 North Chadbourne in San Angelo, this two-story commercial building dates to 1928 and reflects the Mission Revival style. Contractor Frank Von Rosenberg remodeled an earlier structure on the site into the present building at a cost of $15,000. The three-bay facade has first-floor retail display windows, now replacements, beneath a flat wooden canopy with transoms. Above, the second floor is unusual in design, with Spanish tiled skirt roofs flanking a central bay topped by a curved Mission-style parapet. Arched double-hung windows with iron balcony grilles alternate with fixed glass windows that have rounded corners. Most of the first floor has been altered, though overall condition is good. The building was listed for its architecture at the local level. It represents the commercial and residential building boom of 1927 to 1930 and is considered a good example of the few Mission Revival buildings in San Angelo. A 1985 photograph caption describes it as vacant.

Significance in brief: The building is presented as an attractive example of the commercial and residential building boom of 1927-30 in San Angelo. It is a good example of one of only a few Mission Revival buildings in the city. The reviewer recommended acceptance under Criterion C for architecture.

What listing means for this property

National Register listing is honorary: it recognises significance and does not restrict what a private owner may do without federal money or permits. It unlocks the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit for income-producing buildings, state credits in many states, and Section 106 review when federal agencies are involved. See what listing means in practice.

Noted as vacant in the nomination. Nomination documents can be decades old; current status may differ. If you are considering buying an empty listed property, read the due-diligence checklist.
