A group of preservationists, armed with passion, history and a determination to preserve the special place they call home, has applied to establish a historic district on the West Side.
It will be the second in that part of town, after the Rinconito de Esperanza Historic District, which is evolving into an arts enclave off Guadalupe Street.
The proposed Buena Vista Historic District, an eastbound corridor that cuts through the West Side, has immense historic value.
It’s where refugees from the Mexican Revolution landed at the turn of the last century, changing the course of San Antonio’s destiny. It’s where working-class Mexican Americans began pursuing their American dreams, aspirations they achieved in second and third generations.
YOUNGSTOWN – A firm hired by the city envisions a $34.5 million overhaul of 20 Federal Place with apartments mixed with office space on four floors and a bowling alley, bar and malt shop in the basement.
But it wouldn’t be the city, which has owned the downtown building for more than 16 years, making the improvements.
Instead, Steadfast City, the St. Louis firm hired to create the vision, would search for developers interested in the building starting April 1 and with one expected to be selected by mid-October, said Doug Rasmussen, the company’s president.
The city purchased the building at 20 W. Federal St. in November 2004 after Phar-Mor, a once prominent national retail store company, went out of business. Before it was the Phar-Mor Centre, the company’s corporate headquarters, it was the flagship location of Strouss’ department store for many decades.
