May 2021
Power of Preservation hosted a special PoP on the Rocks in celebration of Preservation Month. We celebrated on May 20th with a safe, in-person happy hour at the historic Cool Crest Miniature Golf Course and their newly-opened Metzger Beer Garden.
Cool Crest is a favorite gathering spot for PoP during Preservation Month and this year was no exception! Opened in 1929, Cool Crest is one of the oldest, continuously operated miniature golf courses in the world. Check out the photos below taken by David Smith!

In April, we toured a mid century home built by San Antonio developer Cliff Morton for his mother in 1969, and helped raise funds for the Winter Storm Uri Community Relief Fund!
February 2021
In February, we toured the Kelso House Learning Lab! This home, designed by Atlee B. Ayres and built in 1906 for Judge Winchester Kelso’s family, is the site of PoP's first Learning Lab, a partnership with local colleges and universities and the Office of Historic Preservation that provides hands on training for students and community members.

We missed you! Our first virtual PoP on the Rocks took a behind-the-scenes look at the House on Guenther, a beautiful, recently renovated Queen Anne home located on the San Antonio River in the King William Historic District. Technical difficulties prevented us from recording this first edition, apologies to those who missed the tour!
