The
Quadrangle by Mark Louis Rybczyk
Excepted from San Antonio Uncovered. Republic of Texas Press, 2000
"One of the most unusual places in San Antonio is the Quadrangle.
The oldest building at Fort Sam Houston, it is now the headquarters
for the Fifth U.S. Army. While many military installations discourage
visitors with barbed wire and guards, the Quadrangle is just the
opposite. Visitors are not only allowed, they are encouraged. As
you step inside the stone walls, you immediately discover the perfect
place for families to gather. Inside the fortress deer, ducks, rabbits,
and other small animals run free, as do the thousands of children
who visit there every year." ... more
