| "A drawing
of the 1882 Bexar County courthouse in a display case at the courthouse.
The caption next to it said it was a drawing of the old courthouse,
but didn't give a year, so I am assuming it is the 1882 courthouse.
According to Sylvia Ann Santos of the Bexar County Historical Commission
the 1882 courthouse was an Alfred Giles remodeling of the Masonic
Building on Soledad Street." - Terry Jeanson, April 2007 photo |
