RAILROAD DEPOT
Rosewood @ Ebner, Boerne
HISTORY:The San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad
train first
arrived in Boerne on March 17 1887, but the Depot wasn't built
until 1906. The depot building
was sold to Paul Dreiss, a Comfort resident in 1959 and all the
railroad tracks have been
removed. The depot stood at the end of James and Rosewood streets
in the east part of the City
of Boerne.
In 1959 the Jim Witten family moved part of the depot to 529
East Bandera Street in
Boerne. It was incorporated into a dwelling. The other smaller
part was moved to 1107 S.
Main at the corner of Oak Park Street and is part of a business
building.
