Lerma’s Nite Club was one of the longest-running live conjunto music venues in Central and South Texas, hosting musicians who are now part of the Conjunto Hall of Fame and the Tejano Roots Hall of Fame. The building, located at 1602-1612 North Zarzamora, stands as both a landmark in Texas music history and a cultural icon in San Antonio. Completed by 1942 in the late Art Moderne style, the building contains five storefronts which have housed numerous local businesses over the years, including Lerma’s at 1612. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Saving Lerma’s serves to empower communities to preserve sites that are of cultural significance, not just the best examples of period architecture. Unanimously designated a landmark by San Antonio’s City Council, the building required bracing of its walls, reinforcement of its foundation, and construction of a new roof to replace one that is leaking and failing. As stabilization of the building is completed, the first bay is open and through the implementation of a community vision for adaptive use, Lerma’s can provide inspiration for the preservation of other historically significant sites and structures in San Antonio’s Westside.
