Guenther House, Historic residence in King William District, San Antonio, United States.
The limestone building features architectural elements including curvilinear brackets, green tile canopy, and casement windows with ivy motifs throughout its structure.
Carl Hilmar Guenther, a German millwright who established Pioneer Flour Mills, constructed this residence in 1859 and expanded it substantially in 1915.
The house reflects the German immigrant influence in San Antonio through its architectural style, combining local limestone construction with European design elements.
The property now functions as a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, with a museum displaying milling artifacts and a store selling kitchen supplies.
The original T-plan cottage used horsehair-mixed mortar in its construction and maintains its 1915 art glass door on the southern facade.
