This two-story limestone house was probably constructed around 1870 by the owner, Johann Heidgen, a stonemason by trade. A side gallery with exterior stairway spans the front of the house, and the Acequia Madre runs along the west property line. The house was given to the San Antonio Conservation Society Foundation in 1968 by the Charles A Zilker estate. In 1970, the Society deeded the property to the Alamo Council of Campfire Girls, Inc., for use as their headquarters. The property was conveyed back to the Foundation in 1987. It was sold on April 30, 1990, to Alfred Andrade, Jr. The Foundation retains preservation covenants on the building and acequia.
