Schummacker Company Building

Standing at 402 E. Power in Victoria, this one-story brick warehouse with a basement sits just south of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. Its date is given as estimated 1894, with 1912 also noted. It was built for commercial use and served the Schumacher Wholesale Grocers Co., a firm based in San Antonio. The building has an irregular plan that follows its street-corner site and the adjoining rail lines. A flat roof with a raised multiple-bay parapet sits above a denticulated brick cornice, and the parapet rises higher over the entry bay on the south side. Segmentally arched openings include double entry doors, though most windows are now boarded or bricked over. A metal-frame canopy runs across the south elevation. The building is in good condition, with minor deterioration of the parapet, and it remains in commercial use. It was recognized for its architecture, as one of the least altered industrial and warehouse buildings in Victoria.
