Text: Designed by prominent Texas Architect James Reily Gordon (1864-1937), this structure was built in 1894 to house the successful Carriage business of German immigrant August Frederick Staacke (d.1909). An excellent example of the architecture of a developing commercial society, the Staacke Building exhibits elements of the classical and renaissance revival styles. It features granite Corninthian columns and a two-story arcade.
