The photo clue was a flying buttress on the Mission San Jose Granary. The Granary was built around 1726, supporting the mission. By the 1890's, the Granary had fallen into serious disrepair and remained so until The Society purchased it in 1931, and restored between 1933- 1936.

This is the Hot Wells of Bexar County. Built in 1900, Hot Wells was a healing resort using the therapeutic powers of its hot sulfur springs. The county stabilized what was left of the historic structures and converted the property into a park setting in 2019.

This is the Carver Community Cultural Center on N. Hackberry. The structure was built in 1929 as an African American library and auditorium. The building was threatened with demolition in 1973 but was saved by the east side community. What an attractive Art Deco/Moderne building.
