Kress
Amarillo, TX
This Kress was designed by Edward F. Sibbert and built in 1931. The store closed in 1974. This neon "Kress" sign was built in 2009 to simulate the original. The canopy's glass squares, now painted, were originally backlit. The building now houses Center City Furniture and Center City Finance. For more, see this website. [map]

Kress
Brownsville, TX
This Kress store is long gone but these signs remain. The building was designed by E.J.T. Hoffman and built in 1928. It was covered with siding and new signs in later years. I don't know if any of the old Kress facade is still there underneath. For more, see this website. [map]

This Kress was built in 1917. This Kress was designed by Seymour Burrell and built in 1916. The building has been stripped of its nameplate and sign. The side entrance still has the Kress sign and door pulls. For more, see this website. [map]
