Marker Text: ​Merchant Phillip Henry Gerhard (1850-1906) and wife Lena had this house built by contractor Herman S. Love in 1887. It was said to be first 2- story brick veneer home in Austin; it was enlarged in 1891. The Gerhards'  daughter Clara and her husband, eminent University of Texas chemical engineering professor Dr. Eugene Paul Schoch (1871-1961), inherited and moved into the homestead in 1912. Since 1955 two later generations have lived in and preserved Gerhard House. (1974)
