Biry House

The Biry House at the Biry-Ahr Property in Castroville, Texas was built between 1847 and 1849 by Jacob Biry. It is an excellent, intact example of early Alsatian immigrant architecture. The house was built of local limestone stacked with a lime-based mortar. It was constructed room by room over a period of several years, and consists of two front rooms, a rear lean-to and a loft.
