G6. Gruene Outfitters (1914)

1629 Hunter Road By 1914, automobiles were replacing horses on the dusty roads of Texas. In order to facilitate these thirsty new contraptions, the Gruene Brothers opened a garage on this spot. When the boll weevil plague killed the local cotton industry and left Gruene as a ghost town, this and many buildings lay dormant and rotting. In the 1970s, a San Antonio resident saw the potential in these old buildings and bought, restored, and reopened a number of them. The garage now houses Gruene Outfitters.
