Building 107
edit
Building 107 has been termed a "representative example" of a house having an interior of classical Bungalow form, i.e. having three areas divided by hallways: one for living, one for sleeping, and one for service rooms.[2]
It became home of Major William Henry Garrison, Jr., who served as Commander of Kelly Field and of the San Antonio Aviation General Supply Depot during 1919 to 1922.[2]
Repurposing
editIn 2022, the San Antonio City Council approved a repurposing of the site as an educational laboratory for historic preservation projects to train individuals on preparing historical properties.[3][4][5]
