During the 1920s, the Gunter Hotel was the headquarters for building the
southern U.S. Transcontinental Auto Highway, commemorated by the 0-mile stone
marker on the City Hall lawn. Old Spanish Trail (OST) began in Florida and
continued to California. It was critical to the development of Texas many
centuries ago. Decorative stone bench recognizing OST is at 3400 Fredericksburg
Road. 210/735-3503. www.oldspanishtrailcentennial.com.
