Arana Building, 1926
Craftsmen who fled Mexico during the Revolution reportedly built this fine Mission Revival style building.
The south side of Plaza de Armas/Military Plaza represents one of the most important groups of 19th and 20th century buildings in the city. The Francisco Ruiz House, home of another signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and father-in-law of Texas’ spy, Erastus “Deaf” Smith, stood here until it was relocated to the grounds of the Witte Museum. A Texas Historical Marker commemorates Jose Francisco Ruiz.
