Old San Angelo National Bank

-A A +A
1928, Anton F. Korn. 201 S. Chadbourne St.

Dallas architect Korn’s first major work in San Angelo was this eight-story concrete-framed building with classical ornamentation. The two-story base is faced in rusticated cut limestone featuring corner quoins. Above the base rises a six-story brick-faced shaft, culminating in a projecting bracketed stone cornice with dentils and decorative medallions. The main entrance has a double-height, Roman-arched portal flanked by rectangular windows on the first and second floors. Inside, the banking hall is a basilica-like space with marble floors and two rows of Corinthian columns that are twenty-seven-feet high and three feet in diameter. The building was owned by the City of San Angelo from 1967 to 1981, when it was used for several purposes, including youth-basketball games in the former banking lobby. The building has been owned by an insurance company since 1981.
