The Krause House/Mann's Crossing Post Office is fenced off but the view of the Texas historical marker is visible from the fence line along the edge of the drainage area along the Old Pearsall Road. The historical marker faced toward the road.
This large house is the result of may home extension additions added over time. This feature of the different building styles is one of the supporting reasons this house qualified for a state marker.
Anton Krause and his wife Johanna use their house as the local post office in the mid to late 1800s. They also supported the local Texas Rangers by letting them use a portion of their house.
This house was designated as a family land heritage farm in 1975 and was designated as a recorded Texas historic landmark in 1999. Thus, this marker is placed in the yard of this house.
