Shelton Building
901 Houston - 1900, 1910, 1937 (RTHL)
The original architect for this building is unknown. Throughout its
history, the building has been used for retail purposes. In 1910, John Shelton purchased
the two story building and added a third floor. He leased the property to the S.H. Kress
Company. In 1936, Kress moved to a larger building on Main Street. In 1937, the building
was leased to McCrory's Variety Store and was remodeled by Wiley G. Clarkson. This remodel
gave the building an Art Deco styling. The contractor for the
remodeling was Cain & Cain. The building also has a basement.
FedEx/Kinko's operates a copy and printing center on the building's
ground floor. |
