The two original rooms of this house were erected in 1847 by Father Claude M. Dubuis of Lyons, France, with the aid of Father Chazelle, who soon died of typhus. Father Dubuis, the first priest in Castro's colony, was captured twice by Comanches in 1847 but escaped unharmed. He later became Bishop of Texas. The house replaced a picket hut and was the first example of French-Alsation architecture in Castroville.
