Comfort Storyville is a Victorian Cottage located in the middle of the historical
district of Comfort. It has always been known as the "Bay Window House". It is
a one bedroom with a sitting room, decorated in monochromatic whites and was featured
in the August 1999 issue of Country Home, in Lone Star Living: Texas Homes
and Ranches by Tyler Beard and Quick Country Decorating published by Country Home.
It was recorded as a Texas Historical Landmark in 1987.
The house was known as the Ludwig Hein House. Ludwig Hein came to
Texas from Germany in 1877. He married Rosa Treiber of Waring
and built this home for his family before 1900. Hein operated
a blacksmith shop next door until the family moved to San Antonio
in 1914. The home was known as the "nerve center" of Comfort when
the local telephone switchboard was housed here from 1923 to 1955.
Features of the Victorian house include its front bay window and
bracketed porch supports.
