The area's oldest occupied house was built before 1857 by William B. and Rosetta Anderson, and three of their eleven children were born there. William B. Anderson was a carpenter, blacksmith, postmaster in the town of Lyons, Justice of the Peace, Notary Public appointed by the Governor of Texas, and a sergeant of the Lyons Riflemen, C.S.A. During the Civil War, the family watched military drills from the second story. Later owners included Louis Schulenburg, for whom the town was named; T.W. Pierce, a principal investor in the Galveston, Houston & San Antonio Railroad; and the C.A. Rose family, who remodeled the house for roomers.
