The two-story former W. A. Harrison Building, on the northwest corner of Monterey Square, is notable for a continuous, projecting hood carried on paired brackets above second-floor windows along its W. Milam and N. Houston streets faces. Emphasizing the building's horizontality, the brackets and hood are a Progressive Era substitute for the more intricately ornamented and old-fashioned architecture characteristic of Jules Leffland's late-nineteenth-century work. The hooded theme is picked up in a row of two-story, red brick storefronts in the 300 block of W. Milam, one of them bearing the date 1925.
