revival styles of the early 20th century. His San Antonio buildings
include the Emily Morgan Hotel (1924), formerly the Medical Arts
Building; Grace Lutheran Church (1928); the Art Deco Frost Brothers
Store Building (1930); and the Hipolito F. Garcia Federal Building
(1937), formerly the United States Post Office and Courthouse.
Cameron also served as an engineer in
the Army during WWI and WWII and was a member of several fraternal
and business organizations. He was a a founding member of the Texas
