This residence is one of several erected in south Austin during the 1890s by Developer Nichols Dawson (1864-1939). Constructed of stone quarried in the vicinity, the small houses were similar in design, with hexagonal front bays. Dawson's partner in the real estate venture was his sister Mary (Molly) (1853-1933), a prominent local educator. She was principal of Fulmore School in south Austin and later operated her own private school.
