Pershing House, Victorian residence in Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, United States.
The Pershing House spans 10,930 square feet across two stories, featuring eleven rooms, six and a half bathrooms, and a sloping cupola with iron-grill details.
Built in 1881 by architect Alfred Giles, the house became the residence for commanding officers at Fort Sam Houston, including Major General John J. Pershing in 1917.
The living room displays brass-plated plaques listing the names of two full generals, twenty lieutenant generals, seventeen major generals, and fifteen brigadier generals who resided there.
The structure received modern updates in the mid-20th century, including a glassed-in front porch in 1945 and air conditioning installation in 1964.
The residence earned its current name in 1959 to honor General Pershing, who commanded American Expeditionary Forces during World War I and later became General of U.S. Armies.
