The
Quadrangle by Mark

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."
