The name Westfort is a modern nickname for the neighborhood, related to its location at the western edge of Fort Sam Houston.
The neighborhood attracted prominent residents in the 1910s. Homes for C.T. Boelhauwe, local architect, Frank Scobey, director of the US Mint, and Gutzon Borglum, nationally renowned sculptor, were all located on nearby Brahan Blvd. The neighborhood later transitioned to predominantly rentals for military personnel stationed at Fort Sam Houston and their families.
The architectural styles represented in the Westfort Historic District vary from Prairie Style and Craftsman to Mission Revival and Spanish Eclectic. The eclectic collection reflects the development of the neighborhood over many decades.
The house has a long driveway where guests may park. There is also ample street parking.
There are a few peculiarities with this lovely old house. The kitchen is huge but old so it doesn`t have a dishwasher. You can wash by hand during your stay or leave rinsed dishes in a provided tub and we`ll take care of them after you leave. We do not allow parties. Violation may result in loss of security deposit and cancelation of reservation.
Pets are allowed ONLY if included in the original reservation.
We reserve the right to charge a $150 fee for removal garbage or any other items intentionally left for disposal beyond what fits in the provided bins.

About the host
Hosted by Jack Cox
Hi, I'm Jack. My wife Jessica and I love traveling and have stayed at some amazing properties around the world. We often like to travel with friends or family, and have found there are far fewer offerings for large groups in a single property. When this house came on the market a few years back, we knew if would be the perfect location for vacation rental that catered to groups. We take great pride in the work we've done to the house but we are constantly making improvements and love to hear ideas from the guests who stay with us.
Why they chose this property
This house was built as a single-family home in 1907 and converted to a boarding house during World War II to house officers stationed at nearby Fort Sam Houston. In fact, the name of the neighborhood, Westfort, is based on its location at the western edge of Fort Sam.
The neighborhood attracted prominent residents in the 1910s. Homes for C.T. Boelhauwe, local architect, Frank Scobey, director of the US Mint, and Gutzon Borglum, nationally renowned sculptor, were all located on nearby Brahan Blvd.
The neighborhood later transitioned to predominantly rentals for military personnel stationed at Fort Sam Houston and their families. The architectural styles represented in the Westfort Historic District vary from Prairie Style and Craftsman to Mission Revival and Spanish Eclectic. The eclectic collection reflects the development of the neighborhood over many decades.
The neighborhood is just next to the site of the former Peal Brewery -- now called "The Pearl" -- which today is the one of the most vibrant and fastest growing parts of San Antonio.
