It’s hard to miss the Medical Arts Building in the northeastern corner of the Alamo Plaza Historic District; its Gothic terra cotta details, triangular shape, and soaring corner turret draw the eye to the dramatic thirteen-story structure. Gargoyles portraying medical illnesses and ailments original to its construction in the 1920s still adorn its outer walls. After a brief stint as a commercial office building called The Landmark, a $10.2 million renovation project delivered the Emily Morgan Hotel in 1984. Photo courtesy of Centro San Antonio.
