Summary

Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
Formerly known as the AMOA-Arthouse at Laguna Gloria, it was the home of Clara Driscoll, whose philanthropy in 1903 prevented the sale of the Alamo in San Antonio to a hotel firm. The villa was later the original home of the Austin Museum of Art and still houses some of its collections.
