    In 1883 wealthy rancher and banker Charles Schreiner bought this land. His son Gus F. (1866-1962) later acquired the property. In 1901 Gus and his wife Huldah (Rummel) (1872-1943) erected the first floor of this house, called Cedarcrest. Mr. Gus operated Schreiner Land and Livestock Co. and served on Texas Game, Fish, and Oyster Commission. This farm, active for 60 years, had corn fields, horse pastures, a garden, fruit trees, stables and a smokehouse. With the addition of a second story and extensive remodeling in 1916 and 1919, the house became a showplace and center of social activities. (1979)
