 he present day residence known as Bierschwale Estate was designed by the renowned architect Alfred Giles for William Bierschwale and his wife, the former Lina Jung, in 1888 and constructed in 1889, as the cornerstone at the front of the house
attests. Bierschwale was a prominent resident of Fredericksburg, a Gillespie County Clerk, a banker, and a Republican (rare in those days) State Representative. Giles, who was from England, had settled near San Antonio for health reasons and was a most sought-after architect of the day, leaving his mark on many fine buildings around the Hill Country, San Antonio, and Mexico. Not the least of his accomplishments is the Library in
Fredericksburg (originally the City Hall). The original house has been changed very little since its construction except for the addition of two bathrooms, an updated kitchen, and central heat and air. Additionally, at some point the family replaced the original picket fence surrounding the home with the lovely old iron one which exists today. The original house is one of the few, which boasted plastered interior walls instead of exposed
rock, a sign of success and prestige in those days. The entry consists of a large door surrounded by original etched glass panels in a lace pattern , which is repeated on the door to the sitting room (now the library) entrance as well.
