History
2
German immigrant Zoellistin (Cellestin) Pochmann (1835-1862) came to Texas about 1856-57, worked as a cabinetmaker in La Grange, and married Karoline Wandke (1837-1910) in 1857. In 1860 they moved to a 3-room house about three miles northwest of here, and after making improvements they relocated the structure to this site about 1861. Zoellistin died from a snakebite in 1862. His son, Heinrich (Hy) Pochmann (1860-1926), also became a skilled cabinetmaker, served as mayor of Round Top for four years, and Heinrich and Clara (Ebner) Pochmann reared their four sons here.
