Simple lines and geometric brickwork, combined with large display windows and pressed metal ceilings, compose this commercial building. The structure provides 5 retail spaces.

Additional Information:

The land under this building was owned by a local resident from the 1880s until they donated it to Texas Christian University. The current owner has owned the property since ?

Fun Facts:

1. Three of the five retail spaces are now operated by the Palace Theater (on Austin Ave)as a second stage venue.

2. Behind this building an alley space connects with an alley that runs north to south behind the properties on Austin Ave. It is a meeting place for cast and crew from both Palace Theater venues after performances.
