Texas celebrated the 185th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto yesterday, as Texans honored those that contributed to the epic 18-minute victory over Santa Anna’s 1,200 Mexican troops that ended the Texas Revolution and gave way to the Republic of Texas. The battle was led, of course, by Texas hero Sam Houston, who at one time resided and worked as an attorney here in Liberty.
Another caveat of local history tied to San Jacinto is the famed architect Alfred C. Finn, who was responsible for the design and completion of the monument in 1939. It turns out that Finn was also responsible for the expansion and remodel design of the old First National Bank of Cleveland eight years prior, in 1931. The bank itself was originally built in 1914.
