King William Historic
District Surroundings
|
The
King William Historic District is home to many restaurants, art
galleries, collectible shops and boutiques. Original art is shown
monthly at our premier event, First Friday. Originally started
by Robbi and two other neighborhood women entrepreneurs, First
Friday has become a well known San Antonio attraction. Held the
first Friday evening of each month, the work of Texas artists
is displayed in galleries, shops, offices, restaurants and outside
on lawns to the strains of live music.
First Friday Art Walk
Walk south from St. Mary's, Presa and Alamo (down on Alamo Street
to Blue Star at Probandt). This is an area about one mile in length.
If time permits, branch off onto the side of streets for additional
art exhibits.
San Antonio Art League
A lovely little art museum housed in a beautiful old home, the
art league is located on King William Street.
 The Steeves Homestead
Open for tours daily, the Steeves Homestead is a Victorian mansion
filled with treasures of the Steeves family. Interesting and worth
a visit. Located on King William Street.
The King William Park
On King William Street, houses a gazebo which provides a pleasant
setting to picnic or rest.
The Riverwalk
Located two blocks west of the Alamo Street Victorian Inn, this
part of the Riverwalk is residential, park-like and quiet. Recommended
for runners, walkers, and strollers alike. This is a beautiful
way to get downtown.
