1940's Frost Building-San Fernando Cathedral, San Antonio, Texas

From the 1940's, with the Main Plaza Park also named on the face. This is a "Metropolitan" trademarked card, #47465, and image #15, published by San Antonio Card Co. The back reads:

"The old cathedral has watched over the city through 200 years of struggle and progress. During the siege of the Alamo it was held by Santa Anna, and his flag flew from its towers. From these same towers had flown Texans' flag of victory a short time before. Tradition says that soon after the fall of the Alamo, an influential Mexican, whose sympathies were with the Texans, gathered together what bones of the heroes he could find, and buried them, secretly under the altar of San Fernando. The church has always been kept in perfect repair and is in daily constant use. Visitors are welcome."

Sharp and clean face, light soiling on the reverse. No mailing, creases or tears.
