| Marker Text | In 1925, renowned Swiss woodcarver Peter Mansbendel (1883-1940) transformed a late 19th century wooden structure into this romanticized Tudor Style house. An asymmetrical plan, steeply pitched gable roofs and stucco walls relieved by decorative half-timbering reference his native homeland. A master carver, his commissions for private houses and public institutions ranged from major architectural carvings to finely carved portraits, objects and furniture. Studying voice in New York, Clotilde Shipe (1881-1963), daughter of Monroe M. Shipe, Hyde Park developer, met and married Mansbendel, who moved to Austin in 1911.
