Description:
- For lovers of history, architecture and antiques, this home is a must on the sight-seeing tour. Built in 1876, this three-story Victorian French Second Empire-style home belonged to prominent citizen Edward Steve. The interior is decorated with original pieces from the era. Incidentally, the one-story River House behind the home housed the first indoor swimming pool in the city. Since 1954, the San Antonio Conservation Society has maintained the homestead as a historic house museum. A self-guided walking-tour brochure is available from the society's office at 107 King William Street.
