The location of this historical building is at the intersection of S. Main Street and W. Blanco Road, but depending on what source you use, the address will be either 106 West Blanco, Boerne, TX or it will be 210 N. Main Street, Boerne, TX. Either one gets you to this corner lot building.
Joseph Dienger settled in Boerne and built this two story Victorian building soon after arriving here. It was completed in 1884 and was family owned until 1967. The building has gone through several restorations and is still in use in much the same way it has always been operated: with several eclectic yet comparable businesses operating within the same building.
The Texas historical landmark plaque for the Joseph Dienger Building is on the side of the building facing toward W. Blanco Road and is behind the low but long stone wall on which the Dienger Trading Company sign is mounted. The historical marker is accompanied with a Texas State medallion, a small plaque stating the building is on the National Register for Historiclal Places, and there is a ceramic plaque representing the Boerne Historical Society Award.
