This building is in downtown San Antonio, Texas, located at the corner of Commerce and St. Marys Street. The Aztec Theatre is currently being renovated (June 2001). A closer shot of one of the embellishments at the cornice is below.
 
 
The photos below were taken inside the theatre.
 
 
These pictures were snapped in March, 1999. The Aztec is being prepared for a conversion to a Riverwalk restaurant, with all the original theatre's ornamentation to be restored. The Aztec last operated as a theatre in about 1992, but it was lacking any significant upkeep for many years before that. These pictures will give you an idea of the style incorporated in the decor of the Aztec.
 
The image above is part of a band that appears on the wall just below the ceiling in the kiosk foyer as you enter the theatre.
These next three images are brackets that appear in the stairwell leading from the lobby up to the mezzanine level.
 
 
 
The image above, is one of several matching wall sconces that are in the mezzanine level lobby.
