Well over one hundred years ago, a strong and skillful crew of carpenters and bricklayers began work on a Texas house. It had to be stable and solid. Being in San Antonio, it needed big windows, high ceilings, shady porches, and a sleeping porch on the southeast side where the breezes came up from the Gulf of Mexico. The house remains essentially as they built it, except for the enclosure of the sleeping and kitchen porches. 208 West Craig is a sturdy, straightforward, easy-going place, not too big and not too small. Anyone who lives there becomes the heir and beneficiary of that long-ago crew and can take pride in maintaining a bit of San Antonio history.
