Pancoast Bldg, 1880


Designed for A. Pancoast and Sons Clothing, Merchants and Tailors, this building, along with others on the south side of Commerce Street, lost fifteen feet of its facade when the street was widened. The present facade was reconstructed, reusing the iron columns, and a plain third floor replaced the ornate cornice.
Looking north as you cross Navarro Street, you will see the Art Deco skyscraper Henry T. Phelps designed for J.M. Nix in 1929 as a hospital, medical offices, and parking garage. The Nix Professional Building remains an operational medical facility today.
