ADAM-CANAVAN HOUSE
Scenic Loop Rd, Boerne

HISTORY: In 1873 Conrad Adam purchased property from F.E. Voges near the Balcones Creek. Conrad gave a portion of this property to his son, Julius, to build this house which is a 1 1/2 story frame house. The house is built on a center hall plan with coupled windows; a front door transom and sidelights. There were numerous renovations, alterations and additions through the years. A projecting bungalow porch with decorative shingles in gable was added. There is a rock smokehouse and cistern in rear of house.

This house remained in the Adam family until 1974 when it was purchased by William and Sandra Canavan.
