Old City Hall

-A A +A
1932, Roy L. Thomas. 302 E. 3rd St.

Thomas worked in a range of styles, using a simplified Art Deco for Lampasas’s former city hall. The two-story buff brick building’s end bays project from the building block, each with a short stair leading to a recessed entrance with a pair of tall narrow windows above. The entrance portals and windows are set in a vertical panel of cream limestone, ornamented with stylized drapery folds as might be found in Gothic wood paneling. The city hall occupies the site of the Elks Opera House (1890s).
