HISTORY: Photo in file shows the building with a sign in front
of Fabra's Confectionary. That was during WWI which ended in 1918. The Citizen
State Bank was established here after the confectionary closed. The bank
operated from 1921 to 1931, when the bank folded.
The building was used
for storing Adler's Grocery goods until Adler's new store was built.
It
was later used by the San Antonio Public Service Co., a privately held
corporation serving San Antonio and surrounding counties. This local office was
managed by Arno Richter; office staff was Maurine McFarland; Otto Uecker and
Pete Stahl were employees also. The City of Boerne bought the local share of the
San Antonio Public Service, continuing to operate in the same building with the
same staff until the old school on Blanco St. was purchased by the City.[Source

In the 1950's-70's the building
was used as by Arlon Rust, plymouth/dodge dealer; by Mrs. Mina (Evelyn) Adams as
a fabric shop, managed by Leona Adams.
After the Pegram family bought
the building it was rented to Perk's TV, then to a church for temporary
services, then to St. George and the Dragon Antiques.
It is now owned by
Easton Logan.
