Texas Parks & Wildlife – Goliad State Park & Historic Site Custodian’s Cottage Renovation & Adaptive Re-use to Visitor Center – Goliad, Texas
Project Description:
Along the banks of the San Antonio River and rich in Texas history, The Goliad State Park complex introduces visitors to the refurnished Spanish Colonial Era Mission of Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zuñiga. Built in 1937, the custodian’s cottage was one of the first permanent structures completed at the site. The one and a half story Spanish Mission Revival-style residence was built by hand by the Civilian Conservation Corp. The intent of this project is to adapt and restore the cottage to serve as a new visitor’s center for Goliad and other park projects that run along the El Camino Real Trail (Mission Rosario, Mission Tejas, & McKinny Falls). Visitors will enjoy new paved driveways, walkways, ADA accessible parking, a restored plaza area, new restrooms and lighting.
