Institute of Texan Cultures

The Texas Historical Commission named the structure a state antiques landmark last week. But the protections aren’t absolute, and UTSA may move forward with the wrecking ball next summer — clearing the way for a redevelopment called Project Marvel.

The city’s grand vision for the southeast corner of downtown is called Project Marvel. It’s an ambitious multi-billion-dollar project that will turn the area around the re-imagined Alamodome and the bulldozed Institute of Texan Cultures into a new home for the Spurs and an entertainment destination. But some say the ITC building should be saved and that public transparency is needed for all of this.

It remains one of just a handful of HemisFair-era buildings left standing in the nearly 57 years since the World’s Fair closed its gates on Oct. 6, 1968.

The Institute of Texan Cultures looks at its future, hoping to achieve a National Registry designation.

At an event Saturday morning at the ITC, Society officials announced that it recruited Nesta Anderson, an archaeologist and historian, to compose the proposal for submission to both the National Register of Historic Places and the Texas Historical Commission.
