I think you posted some of these before? Your photo #3 I'm almost certain is a house we nearly bought on Mission St, just south of Pereida.
As for the one in this photo, it looks familiar, but that could be because it's similar to many houses in the downtown/San Pedro area.
Thanks for posting! I love these pictures. I wish I could find one of our house (built c. 1880s)

Thank you! Those are great!
Also, all I can think when I view pictures of San Antonians pre-air conditioning is "They must be SO HOT!" I mean, all those clothes? The women in those high-necked shirtwaists? Geez.

Great photos. In case you don't yet have plans to do so, I'd recommend running some of these photos through an image editing application like Adobe Photoshop Elements to counter the fading/discoloration and fix the wear and tear. I'm just a beginner on this app after recently embarking on a project to preserve some old family photos. I took the liberty of grabbing one of your photos and running it through its simple Auto Fix feature and got the result shown on the right. An experienced user could do quite a bit more to improve it or perhaps recommend a better image editing application.
I am using the following book to start learning restoration:

StanStelle: Nice job
I did some of the photos in the past. Some were improved and some weren't.
My dad had a relative who died leaving no heirs. We inherited the photos, now dad is gone and no one knows who the relation was.
