Marker Text Rafael Mauthe (1802-79), A German stonemason built this house in 1877 on land purchased from the noted architect Abner Cook in 1856. Mauthe's wife Mary (d.1898) lived here after his death and managed the nearby family rental property. In 1898 the home was sold to Anne Katherine Brown Myrick (d.1947), the Daughter of Texas Supreme Court Justice T.J. Brown, who also lived here. The ornate porch, added in 1903-04, features detailing of the Greek Revival and Classical styles. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark-1981
