Very interesting. My daughter lives near this home and often walks the trail.😊
I remember growing and driving/ walking past this place all the time. I have a faint memory of the restoration ad signs. So glad the city preaerved this part of history and thanks for the virtual tour.
I'm glad it was preserved too. Thanks for watching and happy new year!
Great video thanks for showing our beautiful historical landmarks here
Finally found a channel that shows the history about San Antonio other then the Alamo and river walk ! History and the paranormal are my thing and you can’t have one without the other !
Well I'm glad you found my channel! I try my best to mix up my videos with history/story telling in it. The next video I'm making will be about a murder that took place in the early 1900s from someone who played a part in SA history
Used to go there when I was younger we would sneak in through the baseball field in the back. One time we went at night and we left running
I really hit a blinker on this man’s grave and didn’t even know it
I live near that house and never knew how much history there is behind that house, awesome video 👍
I live 5 minutes away from here. I like driving by the house. I hope they open it up again for tours
I went inside once last year when they were having some kind of "story time" event going on there. Took a few photos
@@thesaexplorer nice
Happy I found your channel I wanna do a paranormal investigation that onion house
Love it
I lived near there on Evers
Have you been to the Evers Family Cemtary
I live not far from here and drive past this place. Always curious about it, I remember when the fund raising began and was glad it was not torn down. Thank you for the inside story on it.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
I use to live in Leon Valley, and would take that trail many times during my hikes. I'd always love to pay him a visit.
🪦
Great job !!! I love San Antonio and Texas history. Very informative. Drive past this place all the time. Never knew. Thank you so much for the research and video.
My name is Timothy Huebner. Found this on accident. I don't believe Huebner is a very common last name. I wonder if there's any relation. Interesting. Thanx!
I worked for the hotel chain at the time and in fact managed the hotel at the time. The owner, Ms. Vickers, bought the whole acreage even though she only wanted the land where the hotel sits. The Onion heirs said “all or nothing”, wanting to cash in. Ms. Vickers agreed figuring she could always sell the additional land in the near future. I remember when a bulldozer started to demolish one of the Homestead structures when someone from across the way at City Hall came out and got the machine operator to stop. As I remember, a corner of a structure was knocked down,. That’s when the deal was struck and it became a win-win for the city and the hotel company.
Wow! Thank you for this insightful information! Makes me wonder what other smaller structures were there before the hotel came around.
This is so cool!!! I’ve always driven past that place and it has always interested me!! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Thanks! I always wondered about this place too, I wish I could've gone inside.
@@thesaexplorer I think they have relatives of the Huebner family buried at the Lockhill Cemetery 10625 Fredericksburg Rd. In SA
When weather starts to get warm I'm going to try and visit the cemeteries that you've shown on your videos. Great job! 👍thanks
Yes you should! And take pictures or videos of your findings
In the 80's/90's there was a fire in that house. My uncle worked for the Leon Valley Fire Department as a fire inspector. Him and my father helped clean the house out. I still have a Wescott Ruler that was found in the house on my desk. As the story goes, when my father found it, it was on a bed and it stood up on edge by itself. Now I own it. LOL! Creepy.
That's right I did hear about a fire happening there. Also heard that a lot of satanic rituals happened there when it was abandoned. I should've included that info on my video
I passed this place alot in the 80s and 90s when it was a vacant and decaying old house. I always wondered why it was there considering how it totally stuck out with all the modern businesses around it at the time. No marking or sign, no fence. Just an ancient house.
We used to party in that house back in the early 90’s 🍻
Great job. I worked for the Phone Company from the 70's and had seen this place.
When I was 5 my dad took my older brother and I in 1993 to explore the homestead. All I can remember is wooden stairs and broken wooden ceiling but my memory is blurred since I was just 5.
I think if I ever get married again, I want this house as my backdrop! 😄
Right?! It has a nice country look to it, as long as you dont get the hotel next door in your photos lol
@@thesaexplorer I have nor been to Leon Valley in so long. I will have to check it out again. I went when it was all borded up and spooky looking.
Great Video Thanks for uploading. I think that box behind the house is a bee box. 🐝
👍 nice, always thought the house smelled like onions, ha
I don't live very far from this place at all but I've never seen it before that's so cool I gotta go take a look. Great vid as always!!
Sweet video!!! Keep up the great work.
Wow! I'm surprised you found my channel! I like your abandoned kmart videos
@@thesaexplorer I’m hooked now. You deserve the support.
@@MannyQuacioua I'm very appreciative of your support. I filmed all the sears stores that closed in my city. The last location closed here about 2 years ago
Is this huebner after huebner road
410 onto bandera rd before hitting the intersection of Huebner rd
Cool video sir.
Thanks for the support!
I lived on El Verde across the street in the 70's
It’s sad Mr. Huebner was buried alone. 🥲
Yup, I think this was due to the fact that the family no longer lived at the residence shortly after his death in 1882. They still owned and ran the property but sold parts of it off sometime in the 1910s I believe
I would always pass by this house till this day and I always wondered what was the story behind this house
I have a shirt with this building on it. My Aunt also has pictures from when it was on fire.
Does she? Any way you can get a hold of those pictures and send them to me?
@@thesaexplorer just asked her. Get back to you when she emails me.
