CONSERVATION SOCIETY FILES LAWSUIT TO HALT ITC DEMOLITION

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the Conservation Society of San Antonio filed a law suit in District Court to halt demolition of the 1968 Texas Pavilion in Hemisfair, formerly the site of the Institute of Texan Cultures.

The suit outlines that the demolition violates the original 1967 deed that transferred the property from the City of San Antonio to the State of Texas and that a required federal review of the demolition did not occur.  The suit also cites that UTSA and the City of San Antonio have moved forward with the demolition without following the requirements of the Texas Antiquities Code and those of the National Historic Preservation Act.
