View of the northern section of Bowen's Bend, in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The house in the right of the photograph is the John Twohig house, built in the 1840s and situated across the river from St. Mary's Church. Marked for demolition by the city of San Antonio in 1941, the house was moved to the Witte Museum and is one of five historic homes on the museum grounds.
