Inscription. Gillespie County native William Rausch (1864-1939) and his wife, Olga (d. 1943), bought this property in 1894. They lived in an existing house until 1906, when they built this home. A stonemason and carpenter by trade, Rausch probably did much of the construction himself. The German vernacular limestone structure features a central gable with jig-cut decorative trim. The home remained in the Rausch family until 1943. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1985
