Robert Mumbrauer came to Hermann in 1855 as a young boy with his family from Germany. His father, Charles Mumbrauer, was a tailor and lived in Hermann until his death. Robert went to St. Louis to apprentice as a photographer in 1869, going into business for himself a year later. In 1876 he established a photographer's gallery in Hermann.
Mumbrauer purchased the lot in April of 1887. A newspaper notice late that month describes his making active preparation to build a home. In November he gave a mortgage for 800 dollars to Henry Tekotte, a local builder, probably to cover the cost of construction.
