Historic Places - The River House


River House pic
This one-story brick structure located at the rear of the Steves Homestead property housed the first natatorium, or indoor swimming pool, in San Antonio. An artesian well supplied water for the brick-lined pool. According to local tradition, Mrs. Steves swam every day at two o'clock no matter what the temperature.

Flooring has been laid over the pool and the interior has been modified to provide a meeting room for Society and Foundation activities.
