BLUE STAR ARTS COMPLEX

The Blue Star Arts Complex sits on the six-acre site of the former downtown warehouse terminal of the MKT (Katy) Railroad. The Complex is an innovative adaptation of the historic buildings into an arts-oriented, mixed-use development, including affordable loft/studio apartments, galleries, retail, performance spaces, and artists’ work spaces, AND the Blue Star Brewery, San Antonio's premier micro-brewery!!

GUENTHER HOUSE/PIONEER FLOUR MILL

Welcome to the Guenther House, the elegant home of Pioneer Flour Mills' founding patriarch, Carl Hilmar Guenther, who built this home in 1860. Pioneer has restored the home to welcome visitors as a museum, restaurant, and retail store.

The Guenther House is located on a bend of the San Antonio River, at the foot of King William, the oldest historical districts in Texas.

KING WILLIAM

The King William neighborhood is rich in history and cultural diversity. The area includes three local and national historic districts, as well as properties individually recognized for their historical significance. The area consists of about 600 residential lots, some of which house bed and breakfasts and non-profit organizations. The neighborhood also contains the Pioneer Flour Mill, HEB corporate headquarters, art galleries, restaurants, and a thriving commercial corridor known as Southtown.

SOUTHTOWN

On San Antonio's immediate southside, where arte es vida, is a neighborhood comprised of historical houses, converted warehouses and artists lofts housing an eclectic blend of shops, galleries and restaurants and populated by a quirky and sophisticated mix of artists, professionals, musicians, and other creative types. Southtown is comprised of three unique and diverse neighborhoods: the King William Historic District with its mansions and bungalows; the Blue Star Arts Complex, complete with artist live/work spaces; and Lavaca, San Antonio's oldest existing neighborhood.
