Product Description
Report copyright infringementby Donald E. Everett (Author)This is the definitive work on the 100-block Monte Vista National Historic District, which survives nearly intact from San Antonio's Gilded Age. It is the finest neighborhood of the era remaining in Texas. Architects drawn to the burgeoning city from across the country designed homes both elaborate and modest in an unusual variety of styles, from Queen Anne to Prairie to Tudor to Spanish Colonial Revival, during the heady times when San Antonio was the largest city in the largest state. Landmark homes are described block by block, with numerous vintage and contemporary illustrations and a separate index of architects.Author BiographyDonald E.
