"100 Years of Building San Antonio" Book Signing at The Twig

“100 Years of Building San Antonio: The People Who Built the Seventh Largest City in the USA, 1923-2023”, a new book by Doug and Michele McMurry tells the stories behind the unique and iconic buildings that have shaped San Antonio and the people who created them. Focusing mainly on commercial construction and noteworthy renovations of iconic buildings, this book explores who built the familiar and famous places including revered landmarks, such as Trinity University, the Tower Life Building, and USAA’s sprawling headquarters, as well as the Alamodome, SeaWorld San Antonio, and the “enchilada red” Central Library. This insightful and entertaining narrative draws from archived material and long-forgotten historic documents, as well as the personal recollections of the men and women whose families pioneered the growth of Texas’ most unique city.

The authors will be signing copies at the Twig (at the Pearl) on Sunday, June 11th, 11:00 am. Come join us!
