Built around 1907 as the home of Julius Frederick Remschel and his wife, Luella (McLeod), this one-story Victorian residence was constructed by local builder Fred Meisenhelder. Julius Frederick Remschel was the son of Julius Heinrich Remschel, a German immigrant who founded the Remschel Lumber Company in 1888.
The house is elevated on brick columns manufactured by the Gonzales Sunset Brick and Tile Company and features siding made from locally grown cypress. It was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1997.
