Marker Text: ​Daniel H. Caswell came to Austin from Nashville, Tennessee, about 1895. He purchased a cotton oil manufacturing company, bought and sold cotton, and in 1899 built a cotton gin. When completed for his family in 1900, this house was located in the far northwest corner of the city. The Caswell House, which exhibits influences of late Victorian, colonial revival, and chateauesque styles, features a corner turret and porches supported on rusticated piers. (1984)
