Monogram Square
Why it's listed
Monogram Square is a two-story Classical Revival house at 305 West Concho in San Angelo, built around 1904-08. Its clapboard walls rise to a gable roof, and the symmetrical central block is fronted by a Classical portico with paired, monumental Ionic columns on pedestals beneath a triangular pediment. Behind the portico, a full-width one-story porch with Tuscan columns and a simple stick balustrade supports a second-floor balcony. Windows are eight-over-one, and the main entry has side lights and a transom. One-story wings were added after 1931, set back from the front facade and detailed to match the main house. The house is considered a good example of upper-class housing in the Classical Revival style. It stands in a neighborhood near downtown that was fashionable after the turn of the century and now supports commercial uses. Since the additions are sympathetic, the building remains a significant local architectural resource. Its condition is described as good.
Significance in brief: It is presented as a good example of the upper-class housing built in the Classical Revival style. It sits in a neighborhood near downtown that was fashionable after the turn of the century and now has commercial uses. Because later additions are sympathetic to the original design, it remains a significant local resource.
