Anton Wulff House The Anton Wulff House is located at 107 King William Street in the King William Historic District. It is located a half mile from downtown San Antonio and is an Italianate house with a square tower, paired arch windows, and a circular bas relief in the gable featuring a sculptured bust of Wulff's daughter Carolina, constructed by his son Henry. Wulff was a German immigrant. He built this house around 1869 or 1870. The land that the house was built on was originally part of the grant made to Pedro Huizar in 1793 from the large area farmed by Indians who lived at San Antonio de Valero Mission. Anton Wulff was the city’s first park commissioner from 1869 to 1870. The Wulff property bordered the San Antonio River until it was diverted in 1926. It was the headquarters for the San Antonio Conservation Society. Part of the property on the Washington Street side was sold before Wulff died in 1894. Wulff's family lived in the house until 1902, when Mrs. Wulff sold it to Arthur and Elise Guenther for 7000 dollars. In 1950 Elise Guenther's heirs sold the house to F.G. and Kathryn Antonio for 20,000 dollars. Mrs. Antonio later made it into apartments. In 1974 the San Antonio Conservation Society held a campaign headed by Walter Nold Mathis. They wanted to raise a fund of 100,000 dollars to match a grant from the Sheerin Foundation to purchase the Wulff property. In the fall of 1975 the Wulff house became the headquarters of the San Antonio Conservation society, and that year the house was included in the King William Historic District.
