Civic leader and Boerne businessman Maximilian Beseler had this stone Victorian cottage built for his parents, Charles and Minna Beseler, in 1903. Charles Beseler, a native of Prussia, came to Texas in 1848 and served for many years as a Kendall County public official. Constructed by Ed Clemens of locally quarried rock, the home features a curved front porch, decorative woodwork, and shingle detailing. It remained in the Beseler family for over 80 years.
