In 1879, Schreiner commissioned the San Antonio architect  Alfred Giles (1853-1920) to design the Capt. Charles Schreiner Mansion in Kerrville. The original two-story, six-bedroom house was the first [[limestone]] building constructed in Kerr County. In 1895, a porch was added to the structure. After his death, Schreiner's heirs donated the mansion, which was listed in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places, to the Masonic lodge. The Masons sold the building; it is now a [[museum]].<ref>{{cite web|title=THC-NRHP Schreiner Mansion|url=http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/viewform.asp?atlas_num=2075001997&site_name=Schreiner+Mansion,+Capt.+Charles&class=2001|publisher=Texas Historical Commission|accessdate=August 17, 2011}}</ref>​
