Aue Stagecoach Inn & Complex, Boerne Stage Road, Leon Springs, Bexar County, TX

Significance: Located on the San Antonio-Boerne Stage Road in Leon Springs, Bexar County, Texas, the Aue Stagecoach Inn was established circa 1855 by Max Aue, a German immigrant. Today his property includes a one-and-a-half story house, a one-story loge house, a two-story 1878 house, and various outbuildings, all of which were built by the Aue family. This complex is a good example of frontier, Germanic and Victorian architecture as well as exemplifying not only a frontier stage stop but the evolution of such a complex in its development over three formative decades of Texas history. The first building, a one-and-a-half story structure, was erected circa 1855 in the style of frontier Germanic architecture. The log house was also erected at that time, for use as a stage house. In 1878, a large building was erected, the lower floor used as a dwelling and the upper floor for the visitors. Horseback and stagecoach riders often stopped at the inn for a rest. Later, a nearby railroad added more people to the inn.
