More than a century before a vacant two-story mansion in the 1100 block of North Flores was damaged by fire, prominent leaders of the Mexican Revolution often gathered there.
“This is the only building we have left connected to that history,” said Vincent Michael, executive director of the San Antonio Conservation Society.
“We encourage the city to be more vigilant in enforcing the vacant building ordinance that is intended to reduce not only reduce the risk of fire but also demolition by neglect,” she said. Miller said the vacant building program is designed to help by holding quarterly owner resource events “to put those owners in touch with people that can help them take the next step for the property.”Miller said the city also works with owners to help secure the properties as required by the city vacant building ordinance adopted in 2014.
