HISTORY via Judges Hill Historic District
Constructed for William Herblin’s family in 1899-1900 as 2-story Late Victorian/Queen Anne with gable attic and brick veneer. The Herblins sold the home to Mary and Ruffin Shofner in October, 1910, and they sold the house to Mildred and George Clark in October of 1917. Mary and William Shoe purchased the home in July of 1927, and the home was left to their daughter in December of 1969. Lucy Shoe Meritt’s career in the East allowed her to spend summers in the home from the time the Shoes first purchased the house in 1927. The Meritts moved to the home permanently in 1971 after their retirement, spending summers at their home in Ontario; their Austin home was not air conditioned.
