Dr. Claudius E. R. King House
Inscription
Built by English-born physician C.E.R. King (1839-1919), who came to America in 1851; was a Confederate Army surgeon in Civil War (1861-65). He moved to San Antonio and in 1880 employed noted archtiect Alfred Giles (1853-1920), also an Englishman, to design house. In the native stone, Victorian structure, King had both home and office.
Descendants resided here until 1929, when Junior League of San Antonio purchased it for use as a tea room and meeting place.
