Built as the Medical Arts Building in 1926, and designed by architect Ralph Cameron, this steel frame and brick building rises thirteen stories over Alamo Plaza. It has long been an architectural landmark in San Antonio because of the elaborate Gothic detailing in stone and terra cotta. The building was first renovated in 1976 for office space, and in 1985 converted to the Emily Morgan Hotel.  The facade was donated to the Foundation by Alamo Partners of California, owner of the Emily Morgan Hotel, represented by Mr. Robert Pincus, the managing general partner, in December, 1985.
