The Continental Hotel, built in 1896, played host to many unusual characters perhaps due to its proximity to the red light district. Its renovation in the mid-1980s totaled almost $2 million, preparing the structure for its current tenant, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health Department. This property is part of the Weston Urban/Frost Bank development proposal sketching out the potential for new downtown residences as well as a nearby high-rise bank tower.
