| Holy Name Academy, San Antonio. In ca. 1889 this building served at the Sultenfuss Hotel located at the north
end of the San Antonio town square until a group of Benedictine sisters arrived
to manage St. Anthony's School and found a private girl's school and convent
naming it Holy Name and locating to the former hotel. In 1911, by an elaborate
system of ox-powered pulleys and winches, the building was moved to the hilltop
where Holy Name Monastery now stands. This illustration of the Holy Name Academy appeared in a report, for the years of 1894-96, filed by the Superentendant of Pulich Instruction. |
