Continental Hotel, 1898
Reputedly another Alfred Giles designed building, this brick and limestone structure was constructed as the La Clede Hotel on the west bank of San Pedro Creek. Legend maintains that many involved with the Mexican Revolution of 1910 stayed here. It now serves as the main offices for San Antonio Metropolitan Health District.
Just one block west lies El Mercado/Market Square. The market square area has historically served as a public market space since the late 1880s. The collection of 19th and 20th century structures combine to create a market place for curios, clothing, restaurants, and frequent colorful weekend festivals.
