San Antonio Current StaffBuilder H.C. Thorman left his mark on many San Antonio neighborhoods during the city's golden architectural age, most notably the Olmos Park and Monticello Park historic areas, both of which he masterminded.
One of Thorman's distinctive Olmos Park creations, a two-story, stone-exterior residence built in 1930, recently hit the market with a $2.1 million price tag. Beyond its stately exterior, the home features a wealth of impressive interior details, such as coffered ceilings in its living area, a chandelier-equipped dining room and a basement with a Brunswick billiards table featuring mother of pearl inlays.
The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath house sits on half an acre, according to its property listing, and it also boasts a separate apartment above the three-car garage. An updated kitchen features state-of-the-art culinary gear, while the bedrooms include their original porcelain doorknobs. The home was frequently used for entertaining during its heyday, according to the property listing, which notes that the expansive living area hosted"fabulous parties where 500 guests once gathered."
