A historic San Antonio home built by the McNay and Tower Life architects is now for sale

An elegant Spanish-style home in San Antonio's historic Monticello Park neighborhood and created by architects Atlee and Robert Ayres has hit the market for $650,000.

The father-son team were behind local landmarks such as the McNay Art Museum, Municipal Auditorium and the Tower Life Building, and their work was often in the Spanish Colonial Revival style featured in the city's posh older neighborhoods.

According to a 1920s newspaper article supplied by the listing agent, the property was the first of 80 built on Monticello Park's Mary Louise Drive, touted in its day as San Antonio's "Million Dollar Street." The development would represent the "highest type of architectural beauty," the story gushed.

To that end, the four-bedroom, two-and-half-bath home boasts a sunroom with distinctive arched windows and its original decorative tile floor. The front entryway repeats that arch shape, and striking wooden beams run across the entryway ceiling.

This home is listed by Evelyn Pereira with Keller Williams Legacy.
