Marker Text: Carrie Margaret (Graham) and Paul Conrad Crusemann had this house built in 1917 as one of the first homes in the Enfield subdivision. Mrs. Crusemann was a granddaughter of Texas governor E.M. Pease, and served as a silent partner in the Enfield Realty and Building Co. with other heirs of the Pease estate. Austin American co-owner and publisher Charles Marsh changed the home's design and more than doubled its size in 1924, moving the main entrance from Windsor Road to Marshall Lane. The Jacobean Revival style brick and timber home features half timbered multiple gables and multi-pane arched windows. Detailing by notable craftsmen includes woodcarvings by Peter Mansbendel and ironwork by Fortunat Weigl. (2009)
