At the corner of Main Street and Rosewood is the home of Texas Treasures Fine Art Gallery.  But back in the 80’s…the 1880’s…Mr. William Kuhlmann opened Kuhlmann’s Apothecary…one of the first drug stores in Boerne.

More on this historic Boerne corner…right after this.

William Kuhlmann was a druggist by trade, and built his home on the hill behind the old high school on Blanco Road known as the Kuhlmann-King House.

His drugstore was purchased by William J. Wilke shortly after 1900.  Willie was the son of a Berghiem farmer, and earned his high school diploma by correspondence after finishing the 7th grade at the one-teacher Bergheim school.

He then graduated from pharmacy school at the University of Maryland.  In 1909, William Wilke was to become Boerne’s first Mayor.

I’m Tom Allred with Boerne Texas History and this is Boerne Radio 103.9FM.
