Owned very briefly by the Conservation Society, the Rand Building was purchased and resold in 1981 to Randstone Ventures for preservation and restoration. This purchase followed a lengthy series of negotiations to save the building from demolition. Designed by “skyscraper architects” Sanguinet and Staats of Fort Worth, this was the tallest building in San Antonio when constructed in 1913. The landmark housed Wolff & Marx, a noted local department store for many years, and today provides offices with an adjacent parking structure.
