Johann and Anna Heidgen House, Historic residence in San Antonio, United States.

The Johann and Anna Heidgen House features 16-inch thick limestone walls, a gabled roof, and covered porches at 121 Starr Street in San Antonio.

German immigrant and stonemason Johann Heidgen constructed this limestone house three blocks northeast of the Alamo in 1882 for his family of thirteen children.

The architectural design incorporates German building techniques and local materials, reflecting the influence of European immigrants in nineteenth-century Texas.

The structure currently functions as a law office, maintaining its historical character while serving modern business purposes in downtown San Antonio.

One wall of the house connects directly to the Acequia Madre de Valero, an eighteenth-century irrigation system created by Spanish Franciscan priests and Payaya people.
