Yturri-Edmunds House, Adobe house in San Antonio, United States
The Yturri-Edmunds House is an adobe structure located at 257 Yellowstone Street with several supporting buildings on the property, including a mill and carriage house. These structures together form a complete farmstead from the 1800s.
Manuel Yturri Castillo built this adobe residence in 1859 near his mill on land that once belonged to Mission Concepción. The property marks an important phase in the settlement and economic development of the San Antonio River area.
The house shows how early settlers lived along the San Antonio River, with rooms that reflect their daily work and crafts. The way the buildings and land fit together gives a sense of how a farming community operated.
Visitors can best explore this house through guided tours that should be reserved ahead of time. The grounds are easy to walk through, and weekday visits tend to be less crowded than weekends.
This property stands out for its rare adobe construction, one of the few such buildings surviving in San Antonio. The mill was rebuilt to demonstrate how the original structure would have operated.
