A stone house and its front porch, since 1868
1950s: the boarding years
After the family moved to the country, the house took in boarders: schoolteachers, a widowed rancher, a fiddler who played on the porch every evening.
2008: a new purpose
A local family bought the house, restored the stone and built the east wing behind it to the same lines. Pedernales House opened as licensed assisted living with twenty-two apartments.
2015: the music comes back
Lucía Marquez-Weber took over and moved the evening schedule to the center of everything. The first Tuesday music night drew four residents. Now the parlor is full.
