A home for sale in San Antonio's Monte Vista neighborhood is one of the earliest designs credited to Atlee Ayres, the renowned architect behind the McNay Art Museum, Municipal Auditorium, Smith Tower and other local landmarks.

It's also worthy of note because it was built for a prominent businessman who quite literally shaped San Antonio, especially its downtown.

The home was built for L. J. Hart, a high-profile real estate developer and loan officer, according to historical records.
