Green advocated for women’s suffrage, the hiring of San Antonio’s first female police officers and the creation of its first legal-aid service.
The Spanish Governor’s Palace, shown here in 1930, was built in 1722 to house the commander of the Spanish garrison here. Neglected for many years as a commercial building, it was restored at preservationists’ urging with city funds and reopened 1931 as a historic site.I have included a postcard with a scene of the Spanish Governor’s Palace that may have been created by Rena Maverick Green.
On the back of the undated card, the following is printed: “Centennial Scene/Spanish Governor’s Palace/Built 1722/San Antonio, Texas.” On the front, the sombrero-wearing person and the reclining red beast in the street probably connote the early days of that local landmark, which served as the seat of colonial government here until 1804, when it was sold by the last captain of the Spanish military garrison.
But with Green as chair of a citizens’ advisory board and $30,000 in city funds, the restoration was completed in 1930; and after years of wrangling among private and public interests, the refurbished historic site was formally dedicated in 1931 and opened to visitors as one of the city’s oldest cultural attractions.There’s no mention of it in her Briscoe Center papers.
