The breakfast menu (served all day) offers Southern Sweet Cream Waffles ($5.25) and breakfast tacos ($5.95), among other items.

San Antonio's past |
1032 South Alamo Street San Antonio, TX 78210 United States +1 210 227 8786 http://www.kingwilliamassociat... |
Welcome to a peek into the past of San Antonio. This charming district, which was originally a farmland, is located on the eastern side of San Antonio River and has found a place in the National Register of Historic Places. A few buildings including The Guenther House and The Edward Steves Homestead are open to public. The Guenther House houses a restaurant, museum and a store while The Steves Homestead is a museum. Self guided walking tours can be taken so that you can leisurely stroll along the pretty lanes, drop into a restaurant or an art gallery as and when you want to. Several events like King William Fair and Spring Garden Tour are conducted during the year. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The city's upstart addition to the art and museum scene, the San Antonio Art League Museum, makes its home in a restored carriage house in the historic area of King William, just south of downtown. The museum's permanent collection of early Texas and regional art is not to be missed. Touring exhibits are special, too, with recent showings featuring Kate Ritson, Vincent Valdez and Beat Hallermann. Admission is free, and donations are much appreciated. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Restored, stately home in historic neighborhood |
509 King William St San Antonio, TX 78204 United States +1 210 225 5924 http://www.saconservation.org/... |
For lovers of history, architecture and antiques, this home is a must on the sight-seeing tour. Built in 1876, this three-story Victorian French Second Empire-style home belonged to prominent citizen Edward Steve. The interior is decorated with original pieces from the era. Incidentally, the one-story River House behind the home housed the first indoor swimming pool in the city. Since 1954, the San Antonio Conservation Society has maintained the homestead as a historic house museum. Review © 2007, Wcities |
