Okay, here's the answer:


Click here for the photo on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthigh/5211417423/ - broken link)

It's old Haby Settlement Road (Co. Rd. 271) where it crosses the Medina River a few miles north of Castroville (more info here: Picture A Day May 19, 2009 - Low Water Crossing on the Medina River | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthigh/3663306207/in/set-72157620610035860/ - broken link)) This used to be the main road north out of Castroville, until another road (now the state highway) was built a bit to the east between Castroville and Riomedina when the Medina Dam was constructed a little over a hundred years ago. Haby Settlement no longer exists as a town, but several of the houses of the families that settled the area in the 1800's can be seen from along the roadway -- one of the many (many, many, many, many...) tiny county backroads to the north and west of San Antonio that are worth checking out for a nice, quiet afternoon drive.

Here's a new one:

The only clue: It's located on the south side of San Antonio, and the developers have big plans for the area including turning the complex into a "living history farm" (similar to the Sauer-Beckmann Farm up hear Stonewall, or the Barrington Farm near Washington-on-the-Brazos).

Here's one that should be fairly easy. Located just northeast of San Antonio. And I won't wait a month or so to give the answer

Hey, I would have answered but I have no clue. Do you have any additional clues to add? I've probably driven by it before. I'll take a wild guess since I like this game and want it to continue. Is it an old Dance hall in Bracken? Close to the old Verizon Amphitheatre?

WTG, We have a winner! It's the old Luxello Dance Hall in ghost town Luxello, TX. just south of Bracken. It was later renamed Cibolo Creek Country Club...

Not sure if this one's been done yet. I don't want to give too many hints, but this is a historic building located inside 410 and it may or may not have a basement.
