The José Antonio Navarro House Complex includes the home and law office
of José Antonio Navarro, a prominent figure in the history of Texas. Born
in Texas in 1795, Navarro was one of only two native Texans to sign the
Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836. During his youth, Navarro was
active in the struggle for independence of Texas from Spain, and later
from Mexico. The complex includes three stuccoed limestone buildings:
Navarro's despacho, or law office, a separate kitchen, and the
house where he died in 1871. The José Antonio Navarro House
Complex is located at 228 South Laredo St. in San Antonio. It is open
Tuesday-Sunday 10:00am to 4:00pm. There is a fee for admission except for Tuesdays between 5:00 and 8:00pm. Call
210-226-4801 or visit Casa Navarro State Historic Site's website
for further information. The Navarro House
and Store
have also been documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. |
