115 Broadway

Where history meets craft

Few places tell the story of San Antonio quite like 115 Broadway. From its historic roots to its present-day role as home to Maverick Distilling, the building continues to connect the city’s past with the people, craft, and traditions shaping its future.

A Landmark in the Heart of San Antonio

Located just steps from the Alamo, this historic property has witnessed generations of growth, change, and progress within the city it calls home.

Today, it serves as the home of Maverick Distilling, connecting the city’s rich history with a new generation of makers, explorers, and guests.

A Historical Path

A Place with Deep Roots

The history of 115 Broadway is inseparable from the history of the Maverick family. Situated on the original Maverick homestead and later home to the Lockwood National Bank, the historic property has been thoughtfully restored to create a destination where whiskey, hospitality, and history come together.

Its architecture, character, and location continue to reflect the enduring legacy of those who helped shape downtown San Antonio.

Details worth walking in for

Much of what drew visitors through these doors in 1918 is still here — and much of it is still doing a job, just a different one.

01 The vault came by ox cart

The original vault was hauled from New York by ox cart — the latest security technology of its day, delivered the hard way. Look for pieces of it on your visit.

02 Twenty-seven-foot windows

Marble and iron were chosen to flatter the architecture. The south-facing windows still bathe the floor in light, exactly as they did on opening day.

03 Coffered ceilings, atrium skylight

Distinctive enough that people came simply to look. A separate room, decorated in soothing tones, was set aside so women could conduct their banking in private.

04 A six-shooter in every drawer

Security in 1918 San Antonio meant a revolver in each teller’s drawer and a double-barrelled shotgun behind the railing, against holdups.

Before the Distillery

A Greek temple of commerce

Before it was a distillery and event space, 115 Broadway was Lockwood National Bank. Hoggson Brothers of New York and Chicago designed it; E. E. Dimon supervised construction, bringing modern Greek architecture to a downtown corner.

Journalists of the day called it a Greek temple of commerce, noting its dignity and beauty and its pure Greek-Doric style. It was the tenth bank Dimon oversaw for the firm, and arguably the most prestigious.

Hoggson Brothers made a point of hiring local craftsmen wherever they could. Advertisements ran in the San Antonio papers for virtually every job on the build.

Standing Tall

The new home of the Lockwood National Bank

The bank announced its new home on Avenue C, opposite the Moore Building, with the dates that mattered set either side of the masthead: established 1865, opened 1918.

More than a century later the address has changed and the tenants have changed several times over, but the building the announcement describes is the one still standing on the corner.

Today

Ken and Amy Maverick establish Maverick Distilling, transforming the restored Greek Doric landmark at 115 Broadway into a working distillery, bar, and gathering place.

Preserving the Past, Creating the Future

History should not be preserved behind glass. It should be experienced.

Original architectural details stand alongside working stills, tasting experiences, and gathering spaces designed to bring people together. The result is a destination where heritage and innovation coexist, creating an experience that feels both timeless and distinctly modern.

A Story Still Being Written

One Barrel & Glass at a Time

For Ken and Amy Maverick, restoring 115 Broadway was about more than preserving a historic building. It was about giving new life to a place tied to the Maverick family and to San Antonio’s past.

Inspired in part by family records referencing the grains grown and used in 19th-century Texas, they brought that history forward in a distinctly modern way. Today, Maverick Distilling is a working distillery and gathering place where people come together, stories are shared, and new traditions continue to take shape.
