Norton–Polk–Mathis House

The Norton–Polk–Mathis House, also known as Villa Finale, is a historic house located in San Antonio, Texas. Constructed in 1876 by local merchant Russel C. Norton, it showcases Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and features a second story and rear gallery. Designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1971, it is part of the King William Historic District, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
