O. Henry House Museum, Literary museum in San Antonio, United States.
The O. Henry House Museum occupies a restored two-room adobe brick building at the intersection of Dolorosa and Laredo Street in downtown San Antonio.
The German settler John Kush constructed this residence in 1855, which writer William Sydney Porter rented for six dollars monthly during his stay in 1885.
The museum displays period furniture and exhibits that document the life of William Sydney Porter, who wrote several short stories under the pen name O. Henry.
The museum operates as an educational facility where probationers serve as docents, offering guided tours and information about the author's connection to San Antonio.
The exterior wall features a mural created by John Murphy, a former probationer who discovered his artistic abilities while completing community service at the museum.
