The historic district of Castroville contains 97 structures, but the town is not a museum: families are still living in these well-kept 150-year old cottages. To walk around the narrow streets is to experience another time and place. Aside from cars, there are few modern intrusions to alter the scale of the spaces and relationship of buildings. Even its proximity to San Antonio, a mere 23 miles to the east, has not brought destructive development to alter the historic village atmosphere. http://www.texasarchitect.org/pdfs/txbestplaces.pdf text/html 2009-11-27T10:58:59+01:00 http://www.preservecastroville.com http://www.preservecastroville.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65 2010 Castroville Calendar and Notecards available Order now at: http://www.cafepress.com/castrolandia (http://www.cafepress.com/castrolandia) 12 images of the Village of Castroville, TX
