O Henry House

The O'Henry House Museum, located at 601 Dolorosa Street in San Antonio, Texas, is the former residence of esteemed short-story writer O. Henry, who lived there in 1885. Renowned for works like "A Fog in Santone" and "The Higher Abdication," O. Henry used his time in San Antonio as a backdrop for some of his most compelling narratives.

The museum also serves a unique purpose within the community, as probationers participate as docents to fulfill community service requirements, inspired by O. Henry's legacy. Notably, a mural painted by young probationer John Murphy showcases the artistic talents recognized by Bexar County Chief Probation Officer Caesar Garcia.
