Alamo Plaza South

Alamo Plaza South

Facing both Losoya and Alamo Streets, these buildings originally housed Dreiss, Thompson and Company Drug Store (1872 and 1877); Joske’s Department Store (1888); and Scholz Palm Garden (1891). The Palm Garden became an important social gathering spot, while the stores represented pioneer commercial establishments on Alamo Plaza. Much of the commercial development of Alamo Plaza began with the establishment of mule-drawn streetcars in 1878. The San Antonio Street Railroad connected Alamo Plaza and San Pedro Springs, a 16-minute trip north.
