The Urrutia arch was the original entryway into Miraflores from Broadway. Miraflores was originally a 15 acre property forming a rectangle extending east to west from Broadway to the San Antonio River; and north to south from Hildebrand, 2 blocks south to Allensworth. The property was cut in half with the building of the USAA building around 1960, and then later further reduced to its current size of 4.5 acres when it was cleared for parking lots.
