Now located at intersection of LBJ Drive and University Street, the Beverly Hutchison House was built in 1896 by German architect Charles S. Sinz. It was constructed for Beverly Hutchison, son of Major W.O. Hutchison, one of the town's early developers. The Hutchison family lived here until 1913, when they moved to Kyle.
The building now contains the Office of Alumni Relations and Texas State Alumni Association. Tours are available.

Falls, this house in the late 1920s earned its place in history as residence of a student from the Texas Hill County.
