Nineteenth-Century Mansions in King William Historic District
Megan Macdaniel swings open the front door, allowing sunshine to flood the foyer. A bubbly and talkative hostess, she ushers her guest across the threshold of the historical Oge House inn, and within minutes she's circling local attractions on a map as she elicits preferences from the traveler. Cotton or down? Coffee or tea? Early or late breakfast? Megan manages both the Oge House and its sister property, the Jackson House, with keen attention to detail, but her expertise doesn't end with hospitality; she is also an enthusiastic oral historian, and once check-in is finished, the stories begin.
Before the Oge House landed in the Library of Congress's Historic American Buildings Survey archive, the three-story neoclassical estate housed the family of Louis Ogé, a wealthy French businessman. A large staircase fills the foyer, leading up to rooms individually decorated with authentic antiques. To the right of the entryway, the dining room channels the spirit of a Victorian parlor with hand-painted teacups, gilded candelabras, and carved marble-top tables. In the afternoon, the lobby becomes a reception space, with a wooden bar supporting a tall pitcher of lemonade and freshly baked cookies that disappear like a magician's repossessed sports car. Refreshments in hand, guests can retreat to the back porch and gaze out on a relatively quiet stretch of San Antonio’s famous River Walk.
About four blocks east, a white fence surrounds the Jackson House, a two-story Victorian estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A limestone patio unfurls from the property's back step, leading to a conservatory with brass-ribbed stained-glass panels and a heated spa pool. Within the orange-brick home, a staircase ascends to cozy lodgings outfitted with gas fireplaces, antique mantelpieces, and marble bathrooms. Much like its sister property, the Jackson House treats guests to a fresh breakfast each morning as well as afternoon and evening snacks.
San Antonio's Southtown: Riverfront Enclave of Architectural Revival
When conservationist Walter Mathis purchased Villa Finale in 1967, the 6,500-square-foot Italianate mansion was a moldering relic. After decades of neglect and abuse, the building, like many surrounding 19th-century estates in the King William Historic District, had devolved into a crumbling boarding house. Mathis's revitalization of Villa Finale catalyzed a spree of renovations throughout the neighborhood, turning the area into a hot spot for architectural tours. Today, guests can snag a walking tour map from the reception area at the Oge House or the Jackson House—or dial up a cell-phone audio tour—for detailed information on 14 properties within a mile radius of the inns.
Quiet and residential, the King William Historic District is distinctly more relaxed than downtown San Antonio. Shaded by pomegranate and crape myrtle trees, the mansion-dotted streets meander with blithe indifference to any grid pattern. Located within four blocks of both inns, the Villa Finale Visitor Center sells tickets for 45-minute tours of the estate and its more than 12,000 artifacts, which include pewter Napoleon statues and Staffordshire figurines. From Villa Finale, a southbound stroll along the River Walk delivers guests to the Guenther House. Planted in the shadow of the Pioneer Flour Mills, this combination museum and restaurant pays tribute to the mills' founding family and serves southern fare sourced from the on-site factory.
Three blocks south of the Guenther House along the River Walk, the Blue Star Arts Complex houses galleries and studios such as the StoneMetal Press Printmaking Center. Here travelers can watch printers at work and peruse images available for purchase. Using common implements such as nylons and plastic cups, as well as craft-specific papers and inks, the artisans produce pantone copies of band posters, fliers, and portraits.
