Property Description

A rare historic home in San Antonio is now available for conversion back to single-family use or as a combination of residential/commercial/live-work. The T.C Frost House was built in 1910 for T.C. Frost, the son of the founder of Frost Bank. The home was designated as historic in 2012 and is one of several gilded-age mansions built for the Frost family on an elevated bluff overlooking San Pedro Springs Park and with magnificent views to downtown San Antonio. It is a blend of Prairie, Arts and Crafts, Mission Revival and Classical architectural styles and was designed by Sanguinet and Staats, a prominent architecture firm, which also designed the Rand Building, Burns Building and Old Frost National Bank Building (currently home to San Antonio's city council). The home sits on approximately 1.3 acres of land and has excellent access to Downtown, The Pearl, St. Mary's Strip and many other points of interest in San Antonio. The main structure totals 8,764 SF SF plus a 700 SF garage/carriage house leased to the popular Philo Coffee. The roof of the main structure was replaced in 2021 and features Ludowici Italian glazed roof tiles and copper metal with copper downspouts. Additional features include wrap-around porches on the first floor and accessible balconies off each of the 2nd floor bedrooms. Converted to office use in the 1950s/60s and used as such since that time, the home is suitable for conversion back to single residential, multi-family, or as some combination of residential/live-work/or commercial.
