History

Constructed in the 1870s by Georgia stonemason James Henry White for Charles F. Schmidtke (1839-1884), a native of Germany, this limestone house reflects influences of Greek Revival styling. Schmidtke was an early Bandera merchant, grist miller, and lumber mill operator. White's grandson J. Calvin Callahan (d. 1958), who owned a feed store and poultry business, purchased the property in 1927, and it remained in the Callahan family until the 1970s.
