San Antonio's Monte Vista Architecture and Society in a Gilded Age
"The Monte Vista National Historic District survives nearly intact from San Antonio's Gilded Age, when newly prosperous cattle barons and oilmen built the finest neighborhood of the turn-of-the-century era in the state. The neighborhood is marked by three thousand modest to elaborate homes across one hundred city blocks.
Originally published in 1999, San Antonio's Monte Vista portrays the prominent Monte Vista neighborhood and the lifestyle of those who lived there at a time when San Antonio was the largest city in Texas."
