The rich, multicultural heritage of San Antonio and the Texas Hill
Country provide the backdrop for this first comprehensive guide to
the culturally significant vernacular buildings of this diverse and
historic region: structures designed and constructed by the people
who used them rather than by professional architects or builders. A
valuable, easy-to-use resource for heritage travelers, historic
preservationists, and local historians, A Field Guide to the
Vernacular Buildings of the San Antonio Area pairs incisive
interpretive essays with detailed building descriptions,
photographs, and architectural renderings.Featuring contributions
from noted architectural historians and preservationists including
Ken Hafertepe, Lewis Fisher, Maria Pfeiffer, and Sarah Z. Gould,
this handy, generously illustrated guide will not only provide
context and insight for understanding the importance of these
buildings but will also engage readers with the challenges of
preserving our cultural heritage as represented in the built
environment. Professional and avocational preservationists, along
with interested travelers and general readers, will appreciate the
thorough discussion and analysis of such well-known sites as the
San Antonio Riverwalk, the San Antonio missions, and the public
buildings of the historic Westside district. Reaching beyond the
immediate vicinity of San Antonio, the book also offers expert
commentary on the German settlements in Central Texas and east of
San Antonio, providing an inclusive and inviting survey of how
settlers of various origins placed their unique imprints on Texas.
