Dietrich Heye & Co. Bldg, ca. 1876


One of the city’s finest saddlery shops originally occupied this building. Together with L. Frank Saddlery, Dietrich Heye supplied Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders for their charge up San Juan Hill. As part of the former Stockman Restaurant, the building became a centerpiece of the economic renaissance of the Paseo Del Rio (River Walk) following HemisFair 1968. The elaborate roofline parapet still bears the name “D. Heye.”
