Casa Navarro
José Antonio Navarro, Texas patriot and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836, built his home and office here. In 1960, the San Antonio Conservation Society purchased these buildings, which are among the few remaining adobe and limestone structures downtown, saving them from demolition.
Deeded by the Conservation Society to the State in 1976, the buildings house exhibits and furnishings appropriate to the site’s history. The Texas Historical Commission now operates the historic site, its smallest property in the state.
