Henry W. Schmidt Architects (Claude Alymer Broome House)

-A A +A
1908. 123 S. David St.

The Broome House is one of the largest and best-preserved remnants of San Angelo’s west end neighborhood. The two-story brick house is a grand local example of Colonial Revival, with massively scaled porticos facing Twohig Avenue and S. David supported on tall Ionic columns that rise from brick pedestals. Above the entrance doors, cantilevered balconies frame second-story doors and stained glass windows behind classical balustrades. Similar balustrades mark dormers in the hipped roof. The house, named for a prominent realtor, banker, and cattleman who acquired it in 1916, has served since the 1980s as the architectural office of Henry W. Schmidt.
