The J. B. Blakeney House, at 438 W. Twohig in San Angelo, Texas, is a house designed by architects Anton Korn and B. M. Morgan which was built in 1929.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
It is a two-story house, with a five-bay main section having a dominant Spanish tile roof, with one-story Roman arcades at each side. It was constructed by builder H.L. McBride.[2]
It is an "attractive" house, eclectic in design, with Italian Renaissance influences.[2]
It was listed on the National Register as part of the San Angelo Multiple Resources study.[3]
It was accepted as a "significant example of eclectic and Italian Renaissance design styles".[2] Architect Anton Korn is also known for his design of the Tom Green County Courthouse, also in San Angelo and included in the same study.[3]
In 1988, it was reported to be in use as a funeral home. 2019 imagery suggests it is a private residence again, while the property behind it, across an alley, is in fact a funeral home.[4]
