corner of 24th street and San Gabriel, west of the U.T. campus.
From MoPac Boulevard - Exit Windsor. Turn east onto Windsor. At Lamar,
Windsor becomes 24th Street. Stay on 24th Street until you get to the
traffic light at the top of the hill - that's San Gabriel. The Fed is
on your right - the large red brick Colonial-style building. Freewheelin'
