Thoughts

Built in 1894, this historic property is situated on a "corner" riverwalk lot near Main Plaza in downtown San Antonio. The building had previously been a chinese restaurant, but recently, the building had fallen into major disrepair after numerous remodels over the years that left the building a shell of its former self. Fisher Heck was hired as a consultant to Douglas Architects, to help rehabilitate the exterior of the building as a larger effort to fully renovate the entire building into a mixed-use dwelling in the heart of downtown San Antonio.
