When Blasterz were in Brackettville, the Montalvo House had been fenced off and was posted no trespassing. We hope that the reason for this is to preserve and prepare the home for restoration.
We did the best we could to take a clear picture of the historic marker which is placed at the front door of the home.
The Montalvo House is located at 103 E. Thomas St., a few blocks Northeast of the Kinney County courthouse.
Marker Number: 3440
Marker Text:
Yldefonso Montalvo (1855-1941), also known by the name Obed Woods, built this dwelling about 1887. He used cedar pickets, caliche plaster, and other materials available in the area. Originally the kitchen and several outbuildings stood nearby. The educated son of an English mother and Mexican father, Montalvo was a rancher and an employee of Fort Clark and a local mercantile store. He and his wife Guadalupe (Reschman) (1868-1953) and their nine children lived here.
