Map
Casa Navarro stands within the Barrio Laredito, a historic Tejano neighborhood in San Antonio. During the 1800s, the area was home to families, businesses, and community leaders like José Antonio Navarro. Over time, most of the neighborhood disappeared as the downtown area grew around it. Today, Casa Navarro remains one of the few surviving reminders of this historic community.
