I am a Texan. The Alamo is sacred to me. Especially these days. Here is an excellent image of the Alamo in the 1890-1900 period. Note the building to the left. It was a business named the "Alamo Building". It was torn down many years ago. Images showing it next to the Alamo are rare to find today. Cabinet photograph taken by M.E. Jacobson, San Antonio, Texas among other images of San Antonio landmarks.
