History

The Kress Building at 1109 Broadway in Lubbock was built in 1932 as an S. H. Kress & Co. five-and-dime store, designed by Kress company architect Edward F. Sibbert in a Mission/Spanish Revival style with Mayan-inspired ornament and a distinctive bell tower. It operated as a Kress store until 1975 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. As part of downtown Lubbock's revitalization it has been repurposed, most recently housing a winery.
