NRHP nomination

As indicated in the article, there is a pending request for National Registry of Historic Places designation with the City of San Antonio. If you go there, you will find a 52 page attachment in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) that is a rich source of additional information, including many pages of photographs. Future editors and readers should definitely take a look. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:15, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
