This aerial photo taken in 1982 shows the Koger Executive Center at NW Loop 410 off Babcock Road, an office complex now known as the Brass Professional Center. Before the loop and center were built, this land was part of the Finesilver Family estate that covered several hundred acres.File Photo /San Antonio Express-News
In the 1970s, when I was in high school, I gave a friend a ride home after school. We went to the corner of Babcock and Crestline, and there was a long driveway with a huge house on a hill. He said his father worked as a gardener for the Finesilvers. I also remembering seeing cattle on the other side of the house. The area is or was the Koger Center, I believe. Was this the Finesilvers’ house and property?
