Textured Glass Entrance

While walking around Stamford, Texas we came upon this empty building.  I love these textured panes of glass and this little alcove appears to have been an entrance into the building once upon a time.  There's a huge piece of metal covering over what was a doorway.

Without knowing any history, structures like this are such a puzzle.

What was the building, why is it empty/closed/abandoned, who maintains the building in such good condition, who pays the taxes on an empty structure?  So many questions, no answers.
