Rudolph and Anna Duewall established a family farm here in the 1880s after moving to Burleson County. Their son Edward, born in 1885, and his wife Lizzie Herrmann, born in 1890, continued the farm operations. In 1928 they built a house on the site of the original Duewall House to accommodate their six children. Carpenter Otto Berndt used materials from the first farmhouse and from the second Burleson County Courthouse in its construction. The vernacular farmhouse features exposed rafters and a cross-gabled roof.
