Marker Text: ​Pemberton Castle began in the 1890s as a cylindrical water tower. It was converted into a small castle in the mid-1920s by Samuel (Budley) Fisher for use as the Pemberton Heights subdivision sales office. The castle was acquired in 1937 by Samuel Gideon and his wife Sadie Cavitt Gideon. A respected professor of architecture at the University of Texas, added many distinctive features to the structure with a rough stone face and prominent castellated parapets. (1996)
