Built about 1870 by a German artisan who constructed many houses in the area, this house used cypress logs floated down the Medina River and adzed lengthwise for attic timbers. It has 22-inch walls of limestone quarried nearby, a hand-carved stone fireplace, an outside kitchen, and a unique stairway landing. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1966.
