Yturri-Edmunds House, Adobe house in San Antonio, United States

The Yturri-Edmunds House is an adobe-block house thought to have been built by Manuel Yturri de Castillo between 1840 and 1860. The site also holds an operational grist mill believed to predate his purchase, an 1881 two-story carriage house moved from the Oge property in 1964, and a caliche-and-stone home built by Cristof Postert on South Flores, donated in 1984 and also moved here.

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.

The site is operated as a museum by the San Antonio Conservation Society and visits are by appointment only, with admission fees charged. Book ahead, and give two weeks' notice if you want to see the grist mill running. The house, mill, carriage house and Postert home stand together on the grounds.

The 1881 two-story carriage house on the grounds was moved here from the Oge property after the San Antonio Conservation Society bought it in 1964. A caliche and stone house built by Cristof Postert on South Flores was donated to the society in 1984 and also relocated to the site.
