Marker Text | A native of North Carolina, Luther Bynum Clegg (1873-1955) founded the San Antonio Printing Company. He commissioned noted architect Harvey Page (1859-1934) to design this house in 1901-02. Page later characterized the residence as one of his most interesting. Page is believed to have remodeled the structure after Roy M. Bitel purchased it from Clegg in 1925. Mrs. Josephine Haltom Henning acquired the property in 1937. |
