VFW Post #76

V.F.W Post 76, “The Oldest Post in Texas”

The house was completed in 1904 and sits on the banks of the San Antonio River

Corinthian columns support the Victorian-Style home that features a veranda, basement and attic, and at one time had 17 rooms, 5 fireplaces & two kitchens. There are stained glass windows on the main floor & front stair landing, also on the floor at the entrance is original as is all the wood trim, window trim & window. The second floor has a unique feature in the ladies bathroom. There’s a porcelain pedestal sink, cedar chest & porcelain floors.

V.F.W. Post 76 is not only unique by the house, but also by our charter, which was issued June 15, 1917. The organizers of V.F.W. Post 76 were veterans of the Spanish American War.

Although there are no surviving WWI veterans we can proudly say that we have veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan & Iraq.
