IVEY, James E.. The Completion of the Church Roof of San Antonio de Valero. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.91, pp.125-153. ISSN 0185-1276. https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2007.91.2246.
The author has identified an undated plan for the construction of a wooden roof on an unnamed church as belonging to an estimate prepared in 1810 for the roofing of the unfinished mission church of San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo), in San Antonio, Texas. This previously unrecognized plan and estimate tells us about the condition of the Valero church in 1810. An analysis of the information in the plan and document gives us a look at the building methods and innovative thinking of master masons working on the northern frontier of New Spain just before the beginning of the Mexican Revolution.
