this was added on when captain menchaca and his son on the building. this room we believe was built here to give the captains more space to display the goods they were bringing up to sell the families that lived here. sold textiles, leather goods, things they could make here in town. makeinks they couldn't here in town, they would have them brought up for mexico. having this structure is important. it is not just about the history. i think it is the story people are interested in. like i said, not a whole lot of this is original. very little, in fact. it tells a story. people are able to come in and get an idea of what it would have been like and also learn a little bit about time. the story of preservation in san antonio. accurate, always be it may be romanticized. it may not have been quite what people imagined but it gets people thinking. it is important for visitors and locals to realize what a rich and varied history we have. our city tour staff recently traveled to senatorial, texas. -- san antonio, texas. visit c-span.org/cities tour. you're wat
