This page intentionally left blank. 05 March 2015 Travis Park Standing Structures Survey Final Report Report Narrative Scope of the Report This document is a Survey of Standing Structures abutting Travis Park in San Antonio, Texas. The survey includes all seven structures around Travis Park and provides information on the character and quality of the structures per criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Preparation of this report has included review of primary source documents, plus databases and generally available information prepared or written by others about the significance of the buildings. A visual assessment of all the standing structures also included observations of the Travis Park cultural landscape. Standing Structure Survey Forms The individual Travis Park Survey Forms are included as attachments within this report. The forms contain: • current photographs of each structure • historic photos, if available • property data • brief architectural description of the structure • historical data • construction date • modification/addition dates • designer/architect of the structure • original owner and historic uses of the building • description of the context • information on construction techniques and details • structural system description • building materials • roof massing and materials • foundation type and other relevant information related to the structure on research • and historic designation status or assessment of potential eligibility for future designation. Historical data comes largely from the several archives consulted during the research, mainly the San Antonio Conservation Society Archive, San Antonio Public Library (Texana Collection), UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures Library (ITC), and online archives of the Texas Historic Commission. Information concerning the physical condition of building materials is based on direct field observations by team members from public thoroughfares. The data represents observations only and is not a full condition assessment. 1 05 March 2015 Travis Park Standing Structures Survey Final Report Significance The properties around Travis Park are evaluated in this report as individual buildings within the context of nineteenth- and twentieth-century architecture, religion, commerce, and urban land use in American history and are considered under National Register Criterion A (Event), B (Person), and C (Design/Construction) (National Park Service [NPS] 2014b). They could be considered together for a Historic District designation in the future, but that consideration is beyond the scope of this report. Historic significance from periods that pre-date the standing structures, such as early Native American land uses, are also beyond the scope of this report on standing structures. The Criteria for Evaluation of significance are found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 36, Part 60, and definitions of the criteria used in this survey are provided below: A, that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B, that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C, that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. (NPS 2014b) Two of the seven properties are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and both of these are designated as historic by the State of Texas and City of San Antonio (CoSA). These two, plus three others, are on the list of CoSA’s designated historic properties. Integrity National Register consideration applies seven aspects of integrity, “the ability of a property to convey its significance,” related to significance of a property (NPS 2014a). The seven aspects consist of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Per the National Register Guidelines for evaluation: Location: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event took place. Integrity of location refers to whether the property has been moved or relocated since its construction. Design: Design is the composition of elements that constitute the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. Setting: Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Materials: Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. Workmanship: Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. Feeling: Feeling is the property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. Association: Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. (NPS 2014a) Two of the standing structures abutting Travis Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: • Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church • St. Anthony Hotel 2 05 March 2015 Travis Park Standing Structures Survey Final Report Local and State Historic Designation City of San Antonio Historic Designations The City of San Antonio Unified Development Code, Article VI, Division 2 contains the designation criteria for historic districts and landmarks. Five of the seven standing structures abutting Travis Park appear on the CoSA list of designated landmarks: • Travis Park Methodist Church, • Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, • 202 Jefferson Street (presumably for archaeological potential of the site as former location of Temple Beth-El), • 110 – 128 Jefferson Street (also has archaeological potential as former location of First Baptist Church), and • St. Anthony Hotel. Although the historical significance of Travis Park itself is evident, Travis Park is not a historic district or landmark that has any historic designation by the City of San Antonio. Texas Historical Commission Historic Designations Travis Park Methodist Church Texas Historical Marker The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has nearly 300,000 site records, including data on Official Texas Historical Markers and National Register of Historic Places properties in Texas. Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks (RTHLs) “are properties judged to be historically and architecturally significant. The Texas Historical Commission awards RTHL designation to buildings at least 50 years old that are judged worthy of preservation for their architectural and historical associations” (THC 2014a). To be designated as a “RTHL is the highest honor the state can bestow on a historic structure” (THC 2001). Once designated, state law requires the owners of RTHL-designated structures to give the THC 60-day notice before any alterations are made to the exterior of the structure (THC 2001). Such a requirement offers a level of protection to the landmark because “[u]nsympathetic changes to these properties may result in removal of the designation and historical marker” (THC 2014a). There are three Texas Historical Commission markers at Travis Park, one related to Travis Park United Methodist Church, another for Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, and a third for the demolished Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church Texas Historical Marker Baptist Church at the southeast corner of Travis and Jefferson (now 110–128 Jefferson).

    Title: Fitness in the Park: Community Awareness Type of Project: Awareness Project Discipline: Medical Primary Presenter: Julia Kirsten Students Involved in Project to Date: Julia Kirsten, Lindsay Euers Mentor: Amanda Merck, MPH Location: San Antonio, Texas Project Description: Background: Fitness in the Park is a San Antonio program that offers free exercise classes in city parks and community centers year-round. Many people who would benefit the most from these classes (i.e. people who can’t afford a gym) don’t seem to be utilizing this program as much as others. Objectives: We sought to conduct surveys across San Antonio to better determine awareness and use of these exercise classes. We hoped this data would assist the Fitness in the Park Program manager and the Mayor’s Fitness Council to more directly target certain areas under utilizing the program. Methods: We surveyed San Antonio residents aged 18 years and older at four locations across the city. We asked the following questions: (1) Have you heard about Fitness in the Park? (2) If you have, have you attended a class? (3) Do you currently exercise at least 30 minutes a day? (4) If you don’t, what’s the biggest barrier preventing you from doing so? (5) How could a health care provider help you to exercise more? Districts in which each person resided were collected and represented in graph form. Results: Out of 120 respondents surveyed, 32 (27%) had heard of the Fitness in the Park program while 88 (73%) had not heard of the program. Out of the 32 respondents that were familiar with the program, only three (9%) had attended a class in the past month.
