Stacks Image 2544
Philanthropist George Witte (whose son Alfred was the benefactor of San Antonio’s Witte Museum) built this commercial building on land that was once part of the Spanish grant to his ancestor, Canary Islander Juan Curbelo. The San Antonio Foundry Company manufactured the cast iron storefront. Much of the original decorative façade has been removed on the upper floors.
