The Carl Wilhelm August Groos House


The Carl Wilhelm August Groos House is a limestone Victorian Gothic revival building in the King William Historic District of San Antonio, Texas.
Immigrating from Germany to Texas in 1848, Groos and his brothers started a freighting firm and developed an associated banking business.
After the civil war, the banking business flourished, and in 1879 Groos became president of the first building in San Antonio dedicated to banking. ~ From Five Minute History; Larry Moore
