This keystone was once part of the entrance archway to Convento Courtyard when the Long Barrack first became a mercantile establishment. It is made of limestone with the initials “H G” intertwined and the year 1878.
The Long Barrack would be a mercantile establishment until the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) signed an option to purchase the structure in 1903. In 1905, the DRT deeded the structure to the State of Texas.
