Just to give you a little history, The Ingenhuett was built in 1881 by Alfred Giles, a British architect.  He built many historical structures in San Antonio and Kendall county including courthouses, and private residences, including The Lambermont in San Antonio.  He also designed the Mother House and Convent at Incarnate Word College; Daniel Sullivan’s Stable and Coach House at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens; the 1909 addition to the Menger Hotel; the Steves Homestead in the King William district; and, at Fort Sam Houston, the Infantry Post Barracks, Officers’ Quarters, Staff Post; and Commanding General’s Quarters. 

In 1867, Peter J. Ingenhuett set up the mercantile store with his brother-in-law, Charles Karger. The partnership fell through and Paul Ingenhuett bought the business from his father in 1891 for $20,000. As the business grew it moved to High Street in 1880 and expanded to 2,500 square feet in 1900.  The store once housed a band and post office. The original mail slots and bank vault are still there today.  

A Fire ravaged the store in 2006 and devastated the community.  On Dec. 20, 2010 Craig and Jeanine Leeder bought the building and restored it.  They have been holding private parties there the past few years but have decided to open to the public.
