During the late 1920s, a group of developers that included H. C. Thorman, the real-estate mogul behind the Olmos Park neighborhood, transformed a stretch of farmland near Woodlawn Lake into the upscale Monticello Park neighborhood.
The enclave was known for its eclectic architectural styles, which ranged from Art Moderne to Tudor Revival t0 … well, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath castle now on the market for just shy of $1 million.
The rock-exterior property features a distinctive cylindrical tower, or turret, along with an imposing protective wall. While the exterior resembles a Medieval fortress, Art Deco touches abound inside, including arched doorways and rounded corners. A decades old newspaper ad for the property touted it as having a roof garden and a “sun room in Japanese effect.”
Built in either the late 1930s or early 1940s, the home has only had two owners, a local physician and the family of a San Antonio businessman that recently put it on the market.
Let’s take a look.
