History

Friedrich and Margaretha (Beck) Hiller immigrated to Texas from Wurttemberg, Germany, around 1851, and Friedrich was among the founders of Victoria's German Lutheran congregation that same year. The couple built this modest frame house on land purchased in 1858, about a mile north of Victoria's original townsite, and it is the oldest surviving structure of the historic Spring Creek community now within the city. The Texas Historical Commission designated the home a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2009.
