Plaque tells the history of the house behind it.
Marker Number: 14493
Marker Text:
This house was constructed in 1889 for Myron D. Mather, President of Austin Water, Light & Power Compant, who lived here until 1893. A find derivative of the shingle style, the structure is said to be partly constructed of granite left from the 1888 completion of the state capital. It was briefly owned by Texas Supreme Court Justice Leroy G. Denman in 1897. As the Austin Military School in the decade after 1920, the house was called "The Academy."
