O. Henry House, ca. 1855
Stacks Image 3384
German immigrant John Kush built this typical two-room caliche block dwelling ca. 1855 at 904 S. Presa Street. In 1895-96, short story writer O. Henry (nom de plume of William Sidney Porter) lived in the home. The house was moved to the Lone Star Brewery in 1960 and was reconstructed at its present site in 1999. A Texas Historical Marker commemorates the site.
