The Kress Building is an iconic example of Art Deco architecture in downtown San Antonio. Clad in colorful terra cotta and with heavy vertical fluting on abstract “columns,” the Kress Building adheres to the art deco movement’s distinct, jazzy aesthetic while also subtly referencing classical architecture.
The Kress Building with its signature signage calls to mind Gilbert & Partner’s Hoover Factory, a seminal example of Art Deco architecture. The signage of both structures represent the idea that advertisement for a company can be an integral part of a company and its buildings. For both Kress and Hoover, the signage is equal parts ornament and advertisement, emphasizing the commercial aspects of the Art Deco movement.
