Brill-Mueller House

In 1873, German native Johannes Brill (1832-1909) immigrated to Texas with his wife, Anna Schafer, and their daughter, Emilie. They settled near friends in the German community of Big Cypress, later known as Klein. Brill farmed his land and helped organize what is now the Trinity Lutheran Church of Spring. He built this home, originally located eight miles from this site, for his family about 1880. The house later belonged to Friedrick and Emilie (Brill) Mueller and remained in the Brill-Mueller family until 1981. The history of this family home reflects the area's rich German heritage.
