133 W Washington St 

This building was originally constructed as three separate brick buildings between 1896 and 1902. Each building  featured a stepped or ornamental brick parapet. Between 1949 and 1952, Beall Brothers of Texas combined all three  buildings into one mid-twentieth century department store on the north side of the Stephenville courthouse square.  Beall’s removed all three parapets and covered the top half of their wide building with uniform tan brick, incorporating  two existing pilasters on the eastern-most original building. A narrow wood awning creates a visual horizontal band  separating the upper wall from the lower level. Below the band, Beall’s created an enframed window wall with a  concave entry in the center of the two buildings to the west. Large plate-glass windows surrounded a glass double door.  The section to the east featured plate-glass windows flush with the sidewalk.  In 1998, current owners converted the department store into a restaurant and bar. They replaced Beall’s glass door with  a wood door and added limestone around windows on the bottom half of the façade. They enclosed two large windows  east of the entrance with wood, added frosted glass to others, and painted the tan brick red. With these modifications,  the building façade retains the integrity and the appearance of a mid-twentieth century department store.  Today, all three back walls are red brick and the building has a flat roof that drains to the rear.
