127/129 East Franklin Street Hillsboro, Texas 76645
Historical Significance:
Built in 1909 / 1910 By Tom Sowell.
The two-story, red brick, Prairie Style–inspired building was Hillsboro’s first free-standing civic building, incorporating city offices on the second floor and police and fire departments on the first. The large second-floor windows extend up to the broad soffits of the red tile hipped roof. Making these windows nearly as large as the garage doors on the first floor reduced the visual dominance of the fire station over the city hall. All openings have flat lintels, further emphasizing the horizontality of the roof line.
