Geocache Description:

The Gilbert Building is a four story Sullivanesque style building in downtown Beaumont, Texas. The building was built in 1903 by John Gilbert and contributes to the Beaumont Commercial District.

It was difficult getting the exact coordinates, but I got as close as it would let me. I want people to see the architecture of downtown Beaumont. To really admire the view of this building go to N 30 4.987 W 94 5.900

Very close to this area at N 30 4.950 W 94 5.948 stands the First National Bank. It was built in 1937 and is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture.[1] The building is four stories tall and decorated with reliefs of workers and business people designed by Beaumont-based sculptor Matchett Herring Coe. Across from there stands the Orleans Building. This 12-story building is built in the beaux-arts style and was built in 1925 for the American National Bank. It is located at 470 Orleans St.
