Adams-Ziller House - Texas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The medallion-only historic marker is affixed to the Adams-Ziller House at 1306 Guadalupe Street in downtown Austin. The plate that should go with this marker has been removed.

Marker Number: 15867 Marker Text: [plate is missing, but THC text is as follows] Augusta Adams (ca. 1817-1907), a widow and native of Mecklenberg, Germany, immigrated to Texas and purchased land at this site in 1857. This modest structure was constructed circa 1868. Augusta later married Herman Hertel. Her two daughters, Mary and Theresa Adams, married brothers August and William Ziller, sons of one of Austin’s earliest settlers, Michael Ziller. The home remained in the Ziller family until 1955, and was saved from demolition during the 1990s. The one-story residence features a center-passage plan with chimneys on the gable ends, and buff brick laid in a common bond pattern.
