The John Ball House in King William is an example of the Texas German Vernacular style with stucco over limestone walls, a side-gable roof and full-length front porch. Joseph and John Ball emigrated with their parents from France and settled in San Antonio before 1860. In 1868, the brothers, who were stone masons, bought these two lots for $650. They built two matching houses which were originally numbered 18 and 22 King William. Urban legend is that their respective wives had a falling out, so John's house at 120 was built without windows on the northeast side. It remained without windows on that side until the 1940s, when the Henry Steinbomers lived there. The property features a 2 bedroom 2 bath house and a detached office or space that can be used as a third bedroom (it features a full bathroom). There is a small cellar under the home as well for storage. 12 month minimum lease, on site parking, tenant pays water and electric.
