- National Register Application
This is from the boundary increase National Registry Application from 2003:
In 2003, Texas Historical Commission staff conducted a survey of the Seguin Commercial Historic District. All properties in the district were reexamined to determine if any previously contributing buildings have undergone changes that adversely effect their contributing status. In addition, several buildings not considered significant in the early 1980s are clearly contributing today. These properties include the moderne Palace Theater, featuring a large vertical neon sign and horizontal marquee (314 S. Austin), and the 1949 Masonic Lodge, a 2-story buff brick symmetrical modem building featuring paired metal sash windows and ornament limited to raised brick banding on the upper portion (200 S. Crockett).
