100 Years of Building San Antonio

The People Who Built the Seventh Largest City in the USA, 1923-2023

Beschreibung

These are the stories behind the unique and iconic buildings that have shaped San Antonio-and the people who created them-helping it to become America's seventh-largest city. From the tallest skyscraper in Texas to the largest wildlife land bridge in the United States, construction over the past 100 years has established the Alamo City as a leader in architectural innovation and building technology. Authors Doug and Michele McMurry provide an insightful and entertaining narrative, drawing from archived material and long-forgotten historic documents, as well as the personal recollections of the men and women whose families pioneered the growth of Texas' most unique city.
