HISTORY: Dr. Ferdinand Herff owned a large tract of land along Cibolo Creek as the creek turned southward along the east edge of the town of Boerne. He divided the property among his six sons. Each of the sons built a home on his portion. They were all professional men with homes in San Antonio also. This house was the home of the Peter Herff family.
Retired Col. Murray Wilson and wife, lived here with their daughter, Fran Wilson Elkins and her children, Thomas and Susan, in the 1950s. They were living here when Fran married Mr. A.T. Wendler
For many years now the house and surrounding property have been the home of a youth alternative school known as "Meadowlands". Recently it has been called the "Roy Maas Youth Alternatives."
