The Subject Property consists of two historical buildings, The Staacke and Stevens Building. The Staacke Building sits on the original site of the First Presbyterian Church. It was purchased by August Staacke in 1868 for his carriage buisiness and in 1894, five years after his three sons took over the enterprise, the Staacke building was completed. Designed by the famous James Riely Gordon, who was responsible for the design-construction of 18 Texas courthouses, The Staacke follows the Renaissance Revival style. It features a stamped metal facade and cornice along with two-story arched granite Corinthian columns. Inset bowed windows highlight the top floor and other unique features include a balcony with classical balustrade, granite Ionic columns and a Baroque pediment. Three years prior to the completion of The Staacke, The Stevens Building was erected. Also designed by James Riely Gordon, this property originally served as the headquarters for the University Club. It ws built by John James Stevens who was postmaster of San Antonio and a prominent civic figure. No less impressive than its counterpart, this building is constructed of brick with granite detailing.
