Adams' earliest success, however, was in designing homes in some of San Antonio's poshest neighborhoods — such as this distinctive stone-exterior home built in 1932 in Monte Vista.

The home's exterior includes a pair of Juliette balconies, while the inside features the original lathe and plaster walls with plenty of ornate molding and built-in cabinetry.All photos and listing info via
