Today we took a walk through the King William neighborhood. When the mission at the Alamo was secularized in 1793, the farmland that comprised much of this neighborhood was divided among the resident Indian families or sold at auction. In the 1860s the area was further subdivided into lots and laid out with the present streets. This was about the time that many German immigrants settled in this part of San Antonio. Over the next few decades a number of large homes were built in a variety of styles. The neighborhood's fortunes have waxed and waned, but many of the homes, large and small, remain and a number have been restored. 
We also stopped at the Blue Star Arts Complex which is a development of artists' studios and living spaces along with some shops, galleries, and restaurants along the River Walk in this part of town.
