Marker Text: Ludwig Hein (1855-1933) came to Texas from Germany in 1877. He married Rosa Treiber of Waring and built this home for his family before 1900. Hein operated a blacksmith shop next door until the family moved to San Antonio in 1914. The home was known as the "nerve center " of Comfort when the local telephone switchboard was housed here from 1923 to 1955. Features of the Victorian house include its front bay windows and bracketed porch supports. (1987)
