Pereida House, ca. 1883


The Pereida family traced their roots to the Canary Islanders who had come to San Antonio in 1731. R.M. Pereida built this home, believed to be the first cement house in San Antonio. He purchased the property from Sarah and Robert Eagar (see 71.), who had received the land as a wedding present from Sarah’s father. Three generations of the Pereida family lived here until the house was acquired for HemisFair.
