San Antonio Texas Homes Blog > Historic Preservation Planned for San AntonioHistoric Preservation Planned for San AntonioContributed by SAH Admin on January 1, 2010 Plans are afoot to preserve houses and commercial buildings which are of historic interest in San Antonio. The City Council hopes to survey all historic properties in this popular destination city and create an early warning system for those at risk of demolition. One of the plan's initiatives is to identify landmarks and historically significant areas in River North, where preservationists recently lost two battles to save properties. A 1949 car dealership at 1130 Broadway and three houses in the 600 block of Camden Street, including Audry's Mexican Restaurant now await demolition. San Antonio Conservation Society president Rollette Schreckenghost called the idea of historic preservation “long overdue” but not everyone approves the idea. Many negative comments are being voiced by local residents, fearful they will no longer be able to paint their own front door without permission. Comments:No comments have been submitted yet.
