S.T.A.R.
(Students Together Achieving Revitalization) is a
partnership between the Office of Historic Preservation, the UTSA College of
Architecture, San Antonio College, the Historic Preservation Association
(HPA), and local contractors to provide minor exterior home repairs and
maintenance to homeowners within local historic districts. Graduate
and undergraduate architecture students assist property owners with repairs
to windows and screens, siding, and porches, as well as provide general yard
maintenance and exterior painting. Several contractors have generously
volunteered their time to work with students, and other sponsors have
donated food, supplies, and funding.
The latest S.T.A.R. project took place in the Knob Hill Historic District on April 6-7 and 13-14, 2013. Check out more information and photos of all of the houses that participated in the S.T.A.R. project in Knob Hill at the links below.
