Andrews Municipal Administration Building and Central Fire Station

-A A +A
1961, Martin and Lemmon. 111 Logsdon St.

Although the city hall’s street address is on Logsdon, it is the fire department truck bays that face this street; the administrative portion of the building is entered via a canopy-covered walkway past a low-walled courtyard from NE 1st Street. Alvin M. Martin and James H. Lemmon Jr.’s tutelage under architects Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS) is evident in the ways their city hall–fire station complex follows the lessons of that firm’s Brazos County Courthouse (1956) in Bryan. The city hall’s small scale, functionally differentiated massing, and tectonic detail all refer to the CRS “school” of modern design.
