Fixer-Upper Mansion With Air Conditioning Roots | San Antonio News
Description
Step into history with this stunning 1927 mansion in San Antonio’s Dignowity Hill, listed for $384K as-is—but packed with legacy. Built by Richard Friedrich, son of the founder of Friedrich Air Conditioning, it’s a time capsule of Texas industrial grit and elegance. Original hardwood floors, stained glass, ornate fireplaces, Corinthian columns, and even a double-decker porch await restoration. The real treasure? A “cold closet” honoring the family’s AC roots—and the house itself is steeped in civic pride, with Richard serving decades as president of the Zoological Society (the aquarium there bears his name). It’s not just a fixer-upper—it’s a chance to own a slice of San Antonio’s living heritage.
