Kress Building, Mission/Spanish Revival commercial building in Lubbock, United States.

The Kress Building at 1109 Broadway is a Mission/Spanish Revival-influenced commercial building completed in 1932 and designed by Edward F. Sibbert. It served as an S. H. Kress & Co. store until 1975 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

The building opened in 1932 as a retail store for S.H. Kress & Co. and operated for nearly 45 years serving customers in the community. After closing in 1975, it changed hands several times before being recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building carried the name of S. H. Kress & Co., a national five-and-dime chain, and served as its Lubbock store until 1975. Locals knew it simply as the Kress Building, after the company whose sign it bore for over four decades.

The Kress Building stands at 1109 Broadway in downtown Lubbock, a street address that makes it easy to locate on foot from nearby blocks. Look for the Mission/Spanish Revival detailing on the facade rather than terra cotta ornament, since the exterior treatment follows that style.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, seventeen years after S. H. Kress & Co. closed its store there in 1975. It is one of the downtown Lubbock structures listed for its association with the Kress chain and the work of architect Edward F. Sibbert.
