Emily Morgan Hotel In San Antonio

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Alamo Plaza, The Emily Morgan Hotel - a DoubleTree by Hilton is housed in what was formerly the Medical Arts Building.

Famous architect Ralph Cameron designed the thirteen-story tower of reinforced concrete with glazed terra cotta at the three lower and three upper stories in 1924 as the Medical Arts Building. A light colored brick faces the intervening stories. The building's distinctive form and ornamentation are influenced by the Gothic revival that was the fashion for skyscrapers nationwide in the 1920s. The panels between the first and second stories, as well as the marquee over the main entrance, are of cast iron painted to simulate bronze. The roof is copper with wood ribs. Terra cotta gargoyles depicting figures with various ailments, including toothaches and other medical troubles, are perhaps the most interesting architectural feature of this unique building.

In 1976, the Medical Arts Building was converted into a modern office building. In 1984, the building was adapted for use as a hotel and The Emily Morgan Hotel was founded.

St. Ann And St. Joachim Stained Glass Window

Stained Glass Window San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas
Here:
St. Ann (left) and
St. Joachim (right)

The origin of the name "Tejas" or "Texas" comes from the Spanish pronunciation of a Hasinai Indian word meaning "friends" or "allies."

On March 9, 1731, the construction of the first cathedral that took the name of San Fernando marked the birth of the first municipal government of the state of Texas and one of the oldest in the United States. Around that church, the town of San Fernando de Béxar was born, and later became what today is the city of San Antonio. The San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral is relatively simple compared with others built by the Spaniards in their colonies.

But San Fernando Cathedral is more than a just a historical milestone which understandably makes any Texan really proud. It is a house of God, a temple which gathers all Catholics under the same roof and welcomes all who want to find refuge.

St. Michael And St. Raphael

Stained Glass Windows San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas
Here:
St. Michael left, and
St. Raphael right

Founded in 1731, the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas, was organized in 1731 by a group of Canary Islanders, and the building went through several incarnations before major construction on its current Gothic Revival visage was consecrated in 1873.

The massive cathedral has a distinctive European feel, with towering Gothic arches and a gilded 24-foot-tall altar. Glistening through San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral, nine enormous stained glass windows depicting 18 saints, awaken and nourish the mystery of Christ.

San Antonio River Walk

The San Antonio River symbolizes the heart and soul of the city. Hundreds of years ago, the river was a gathering place for Native Americans. The first civilian Spanish settlers built their homes here in the 1700s. In the late 1920s the people realized what an asset the river could be to the growing city.

The San Antonio River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, was built and later extended, and is now 15 miles of sidewalks and paths. It is a verdant oasis of cypress-lined paved paths, arched stone bridges and lush landscapes that gently winds through the city center. Tucked quietly below street level and only steps from the Alamo, the San Antonio River Walk provides a serene and pleasant way to navigate the city. The River Walk is the largest urban ecosystem in the nation.

Ernie Pyle once described the River Walk as "The American Venice" and it's easy to see why. If you tried to imagine a place where the sights, sounds and flavors of Native America, Old Mexico and the Wild West blend effortlessly with the hustle and bustle of a modern city, it would probably look a lot like the San Antonio River Walk.
