San Antonio Conservation Society

The Conservation Society of San Antonio has canceled A Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA) for Fiesta 2027, saying the longtime celebration is no longer fulfilling its purpose as a fundraiser for historic preservation and education. Society President Betty Bueché said the suspending NIOSA is due to financial reasons, and there is no timetable for its return.

The Conservation Society announced Wednesday that the four-night event, commonly known as NIOSA, will not be held in 2027 as organizers reconsider its future and how to continue funding the nonprofit’s historic preservation work.

There are two court dates next week. The one on Monday will determine whether or not the court has standing to rule on the matter, and the one on Tuesday will determine whether or not the Conservation Society’s emergency injunction to stop demolition will be approved.

A vacant property that history advocates have been fighting to save caught fire late Wednesday night in San Antonio. 503 Urban Loop — a former brothel and later orphanage — found itself at the center of local controversy last summer after its owners filed a request to demolish the building.

Owners of the Whitt Printing building want to tear it down, but the city says they can't.

Sometime this summer, Fannie Porter's brothel — where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out — lost its historic designation.
