Gruene Family Home, Historic house in New Braunfels, United States.

Gruene Family Home is a Victorian-style residence built in 1872 in New Braunfels. The structure features original elements like high ceilings, antique furnishings, and restored period fixtures that reflect how people lived during that era.

Henry D. Gruene built this house as one of the first structures in the Gruene community, which started as a cotton plantation in the 1800s. The property later became an important landmark in the settlement's development.

The residence reflects German-speaking settlement in Texas through its building style and construction methods from early New Braunfels. The rooms tell the story of how pioneers brought their European traditions and daily habits into Texan life.

The house now operates as an inn with guest rooms furnished with period pieces and antique fixtures. Visitors should expect older, traditional furnishings and a setting designed to feel like the original era.

The inn's guest rooms occupy century-old barns and homes moved onto the grounds, not just the 1872 house. The main building began as H.D. Gruene's Eastlake Victorian home and cotton plantation, and the property is a contributing property to the Gruene Historic District, listed in 1974.
