We were pleased to support the proposed renovation of City Hall, which City Council approved.  Read our full statement, which commends the City for being a good steward of a landmark that has served the citizens of San Antonio since 1892.

Architect Otto Kramer designed an impressive Renaissance Revival style building to replace the bat-infested former city hall, known as the “Bat Cave,” which the local government had outgrown.

The new city hall originally featured corner towers and a dome, all of which were removed when the fourth story was added in 1927. Read more in the Rivard Report.
