New life given to historical Gibbs home in Government Hill
Gibbs, who after the Civil War got into the land and railroad business in San Antonio, built it. He owned about 10,000 acres of land and built his home as one of the first in the now historical Government Hill neighborhood. Which at the time was the tallest building.โFullmer said the home was a prominent social symbol where Gibbs loved to host social gatherings. โGibbs was a land guy, we are land people and itโs a new tradition to carry on,โ Fullmer said. โThe big issue was the wood,โ Fullmer said.
