About Fritz Paul and Emma Schroeder House
The Fritz Paul and Emma Schroeder House was built in 1914 as a one-and-a-half-story vernacular dwelling on a hundred-acre farm Fritz bought from his stepfather, August Scheffer. Fritz built the house himself with local materials in the rural German immigrant community of Sandy Hill, north of Brenham. It reflected that German farming community's building traditions.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Fritz Paul and Emma Schroeder House
SCHROEDER HOUSE Built in 1914, the Fritz Paul and Emma Schroeder house is a 1-1/2-story dwelling, an example of 20th century vernacular architecture. The building was designed and constructed with locally obtained materials by Fritz, who purchased the 100-acre farm from his stepfather, August Scheffer. The farm is nine miles north of Brenham in the rural community of Sandy Hill, which at the time of the home’s construction was exclusively German immigrants. The Schroeder house is an example of the relationship between the occupants, builder, and traditions of the traditionally German farming community.
