The Yturri-Edmunds House functioned as a private adobe residence built in the early nineteenth century along the San Antonio River near Mission Concepcion, in what was then rural farmland outside the town of San Antonio de Bexar. Constructed with river adobe by the Yturri family and later associated with the Edmunds family, the house served as an everyday domestic dwelling for a farming household working land tied to the former mission's irrigated fields, part of San Antonio's acequia-fed agricultural system. An associated small mill on the property functioned as a working grist mill, reflecting the site's practical role in processing grain for household and local use, tying the residence into the everyday agricultural economy of the river valley. The house's long occupation by descendants of these families over multiple generations illustrates its continuous residential use into the twentieth century, making it one of the older continuously inhabited structures in the San Antonio area. Today the property no longer functions as a private home; it is preserved and operated as a historic house museum by the San Antonio Conservation Society, which acquired the site to protect it from development pressure. The museum offers tours of the house and surrounding grounds, interprets frontier-era domestic and agricultural life along the San Antonio River, and serves an educational and commemorative role within the city's Mission Reach historic corridor near Mission Concepcion.
