Lone Star Brewery, San Antonio TX by Kevin G Saunders

Rollei X-Act2 View Camera

This San Antonio landmark was built in 1933 as the second Lone Star brewery, to keep up with post Prohibition production.

The 1933 brewery smokestack has become an iconic landmark in San Antonio. It is prominently visible from Interstate 10 and is used in daily traffic reports as a relative traffic indicator. The brewery has been vacant since 1996 and was recently purchased by B. Knightly Development & Construction for a mixed use urban renewal project including an extension of the River Walk along the river to where it connects with The Lone Star Brewery complex. The B. Knightly plan includes preserving the original architecture, the iconic smokestack and historic landmark status for the brewery.
