More Alamo Markers

These three markers are difficult to find. They are on the patio at Alamo Hall, back in the arbor. They indicate the corners of the house that once stood there and belonged to a post- Civil War mayor of San Antonio. They are where the back wall of the house, to the Northwest, at the kitchen would have been. 


 Below are photos of some remains of the west wall of the mission, at the Southwest corner. Look for a triangular concrete structure when you go down the stairs to the Riverwalk.


This is out front by the Long Barrack.


This is also across the street, near the stairs mentioned above. It is the site where the defenders had the 18 pound cannon. The home had been filled with dirt to support the weight of the cannon. It is alos the house where Toribio Losoya, an Alamo Defender, was born and would lose his life years later.
