    Inset: Fredericksburg’s German heritage is displayed throughout the town; Background: Bluebonnets near Marble Falls ★ ★ ★ reen hills roll like waves to the horizon. Clear streams babble below rock cliffs. Wildfl owers blanket valleys in a full spectrum of color. Such scenic beauty stirs the spirit in the Texas Hill Country Trail Region. The area is rich in culture and mystique, from fl ourishing vineyards and delectable cuisines to charming small towns with a compelling blend of diversity in heritage and history. The region’s 19 counties form the hilly eastern half of the Edwards Plateau. The curving Balcones Escarpment defi nes the region’s eastern and southern boundaries. Granite outcroppings in the Llano Uplift mark its northern edge. The region includes two major cities, Austin and San Antonio, and dozens of captivating communities with historic downtowns. Millions of years ago, geologic forces uplifted the plateau, followed by eons of erosion that carved out hills more than 2,000 feet in elevation. Water fi ltered through limestone bedrock, shaping caverns and vast aquifers feeding into the many Hill Country region rivers that create a recreational paradise. Scenic beauty, Small–town charm TxDOT TxDOT Paleoindian hunter-gatherers roamed the region during prehistoric times. Water and wildlife later attracted Tonkawa, Apache and Comanche tribes, along with other nomads who hunted bison and antelope. Eighteenth-century Spanish soldiers and missionaries established a presidio and fi ve missions in San Antonio, which became the capital of Spanish Texas. Native American presence deterred settlements during the era when Texas was part of New Spain and, later, Mexico.
  • Introduction Part 1

    Introduction Part 1

    Introduction Part 1 The Brackenridge Park Landscape A Condensed History Imagine a clear, cold river originating from a deep, gushing artesian spring, not trickling, but rushing, chasing itself through prairie grassland. It forges a winding path that stretches southeasterly, like a ribbon unraveling for nearly 250 miles. Life blooms and bursts in many forms along this river’s upper banks for thousands upon thousands of years, until eventually, a city grows. The Brackenridge Park landscape was once a stomping ground for mammoths and other prehistoric life. It was part of a ritual migratory route for Indigenous Americans. It is the origin of one of this country’s earliest democratized water systems, executed through a Spanish system of acequias and built by Indigenous people to irrigate and provide potable water to the Spanish missions (1719 – 1724), and eventually to provide water to secular settlements for almost one hundred years (1770s–1850s). It is the site of early industrial development in the form of limestone quarries that first built up the city (1850s – 1880). It is the site of a Civil War Confederate tannery and sawmill where enslaved people labored (1863 – 1865) and the site of a cement company, which, by the hands of workers, further contributed to the building up of San Antonio (1880 – 1908). This landscape then became a grand, shady, scenic driving park and a river swimming hole that attracted locals and tourists from around the country (1899) (figures 1 and 2). It became the grounds for a charming display of buildings that melded German architectural styles of “half-timbering or rock-and-mortar methods”1 with native limestone materials that resulted in distinctly local buildings and structures that still dot the park and the city.

    The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director

    The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director San Antonio’s Theater for All Organization The Public Theater of San Antonio (The Public) is San Antonio’s largest producing theater, currently celebrating its 109th consecutive year of production. Its mission is to produce professional live theater that inspires, educates, and connects communities. The Public presents high-quality theatrical productions year-round and is an important artistic leader in the City of San Antonio’s cultural landscape. Its stated goal is to be a ‘Theater for All,’ where residents of San Antonio can all feel welcome in the space and comfortable engaging with the artists and the art. The Public’s direction moving forward is to maintain and improve upon its role as San Antonio’s flagship theater while creating a stronger collaborative and supportive culture, both internally and with the San Antonio community. The Public’s history traces back to 1912 when Sara Barton Bindley, a resident of San Antonio, established the San Antonio Dramatic Club. The early years of the twentieth century saw the emergence of the little theater movement in the United States. As the movement flourished across the nation, civic leaders of San Antonio formally incorporated as the Little Theater Production Company of San Antonio in 1927, updated legally to the San Antonio Little Theatre, Inc. in 1962. During the early years under the direction of Carl Glick, the productions were held across the city in places like the Menger Hotel and Beethoven Hall. The organization’s leadership eventually petitioned the City for a permanent location and on January 22, 1930, the San Pedro Playhouse opened as the first city-built, city- funded theater in the United States.

    MARK WOHLFARTH Owner – The Sabinal Group, LLC Residence: San Antonio, Texas Mr. Wohlfarth has been involved in providing professional construction and architectural services for over twenty-two years. He has demonstrated his strong skills on a variety of projects from management of the design process through punch-list completion, interacting with design teams, clients and construction trades. While in college, Mark worked full time (paying his own way through college) and acquired a wide-ranging knowledge of construction engineering, appraisals and marketing research. He gained solid experience after graduation working in Austin for such architectural firms as Benson Hlavaty and Design Horizons. He then joined Constructors in 1992 as an Estimator in the Austin office. With his extensive understanding of the business, he was quickly promoted to Superintendent, and shortly thereafter, a Project Manager. His responsibility for the supervision and construction oversight of all projects won him another promotion to open an office for Constructors in his hometown - San Antonio in 2001 as Vice President, where he oversaw and managed all negotiations, project operations, administration and business development. He grew that operation from no volume and no employees to performing over Fifty Million annually and over forty salaried employees. In addition, Constructors was not ranked in the San Antonio Business Journal Book of Lists in 2000, but in the last year of Mark’s direction Constructors ranked number Five in San Antonio’s largest General

    Renewing the Source

    Prepared by The Trust for Public Land Center for City Park Excellence Washington, D.C. Written by Peter Harnik June 1, 2004 Renewing the Source The redesign of a San Antonio park reconciiles citizens from opposite sides of the tracks The Alamo may be more famous and the Riverwalk more visited, but the most venerable spot in the most authentic city in Texas is San Pedro Springs Park. The origin of the park is a spring from time immemorial, but this isn’t a dusty “historical” park: a few feet away is a modern, groundbreaking landscape incorporating the city’s most popular swimming facility. San Pedro’s vibrant history plays off all the forces push- ing and pulling today’s San Antonio, including geology, hydrology, race, class and the poli- tics of park renovation. “Renewing a Historic Park” San Antonio is an anomaly in Texas. It’s big (America’s ninth largest city, with more than Landscape Architecture a million residents) but it’s a world away from Dallas’ gleaming skyscrapers, Houston’s June 2004 miles of mcmansions or Austin’s go-go technology pavilions. With roots reaching back to Spanish conquistadors, Catholic missionaries and native Coahuitecan hunters, San Antonio, surprisingly, retains many of its old downtown buildings (thanks to façade ease- ments); it’s kept a number of the old Spanish irrigation acequias (including one in San Pedro Park); and the world-famous Riverwalk is, from many angles, so quaint it feels downright European. As for San Pedro Springs Park, historic is almost too mild a word for it.
