Sarah Ann (Mather) Peel (1850-1931) built this vernacular house c. 1906. She and A.J. Peel were Hays County ranchers. The cross-gable design features banks of double-hung windows, clapboard siding and an arcaded entry. When Sarah died, her daughter, Lottie Vaughn, inherited the property and lived here until she sold it in 1935 to Mabel Kretzmeier (1905-1984). Several additions took place during the Kretzmeier occupancy. Interior materials include longleaf pine trim and oak floors, demonstrating original craftsmanship, and beaded ceilings. The historic grounds include a stone hitching post documented since at least the 1930s. Notably, women have maintained ownership of the house for almost a century.
