City of Junction Municipal Building

-A A +A
1940, D. C. Maddux. 102 N. 5th St.

Designed by San Angelo architect Maddux, this lively one-story, Streamline Moderne city hall and fire station was built with WPA-funded labor. Painted dark brown, ochre, and white, the building is composed of the two-bay fire station (doors now filled in) in the taller central section and offices in the lower wings. Pilasters on the central section wrap over the parapet, as do ornamental panels above the doors on the wings, which also have a pattern of four horizontal lines under the roofline.
