The Spanish Governor's Palace - a photo on Flickriver

            You know, who ever was the governor, he must have gotten the short straw..;) The Texas frontier was and is, a long way from Spain. Here's some history:
 The building was constructed in the early 18th century, planned as early as 1722 and completed in 1849.[3] It was The keystone above the front entrance is marked with the coat-of-arms of Spanish King Ferdinand VI and the date 1749.[4] The building was the residence and working offices of the local presidio captain at first. Later, it became the home of the Spanish governors who lived in San Antonio.[5] The building later became the capitol building of the Tejas region of Spanish Texas in 1722.[3]
The Spanish built the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar to protect the area’s missions, including the San Antonio de Valero Mission (The Alamo) and the missions in the present day San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, as well as the growing Spanish colony.
The one-story masonry and stucco structure features ten rooms, a grand courtyard and a fountain, and is alleged to be haunted.[4]
The palace is located in between Market Square and the San Antonio River Walk near the current city hall. The address is 105 Military Plaza, San Antonio.
