Please note that the Yturri-Edmunds site will be closed until 2014, while the city makes improvements to Mission Road as part of the Mission Trails Project. This portion of the project is one of the last needed to complete the nine mile trail linking the Spanish missions from the Alamo to Mission Espada.
The Yturri-Edmunds home is one of the few adobe-block houses remaining in San Antonio. Built between 1840 and 1860, this house last belonged to local school teacher Ernestine Edmunds. Miss Edmunds’ grandfather, Manuel Yturri Castillo, received the land as a grant from the Mexican government in 1824.
