From txkendall.com Website:
From the Boerne Star, May 18, 1978: "Wilkins, a former Mayor or Boerne who owned a cedar yard and grain business on East Rosewood built the "log Cabin" on the corner which now houses Mergele Real Estate and the home next to it which houses "Our Past Time Antiques" in 1926. The Wilkins family lived in the home, and the "cabin" known as the "Log Cabin Service Station", sold Magnolia gasoline to motorists traveling from San Antonio to Fredericksburg and vice versa." continuing the Star quote: "Mr. Mergele purchased the home and cabin in January 1977, and has, over the past year, done a remarkable job of restoring both."
