1929, Korn and Morgan. 113–119 E. Concho Ave.

An entire block front of show windows framed in brick arches over stone columns forms a suitable model for an auto dealership. A central entrance portal with a stone arch, a tall Alamo-scroll gable, finials along the parapet, and carved stone details contribute to the building’s impressive Spanish Renaissance character, the work of local stonemason Dwight Holmes. Korn and Morgan designed the building to accommodate four side-by-side dealerships and their back-of-the-house service bays.
