About Lindheimer House
Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer was known as the father of Texas Botany. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Lindheimer emigrated to the United States in 1834 to escape persecution resulting from his political activities. Lindheimer built his timber-framed house in 1852, in the saltbox style. A popular architecture style in New England, the saltbox house was also utilized among German immigrants in Texas. -from Wikipedia
