Saving San Antonio

Author: Lewis F. Fisher · Year: 1996

Fisher narrates how San Antonio’s built environment survived—or nearly did not—across decades of growth, neglect, and renewal. For anyone tracing industrial buildings, river-adjacent property, or downtown reuse, the book explains the civic backdrop behind what still stands and what was lost.

Relevance to H&H

Resolved (2026-07-22). Google Books has since indexed a full-text-searchable copy (id DVuCnKMTO4oC). A search inside the book for “Hoffmann” and “Hayman” returns no results for either term — Fisher’s preservation narrative does not name the company. No further action needed on this title.
