Description
The Alamo by Lynn Sprowl
Built in 1718 as a Mission and then became a fortress. The famous battle of the Alamo began on March 6, 1836 following a 12 day siege. Between 1836 and 1877 it became a supply depot. In 1883, the state of Texas purchased the church as a memorial to the Alamo defenders. From 1905 to present, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas served as custodians of the Alamo complex.
