L. A. and Adelheid Machemehl House, Historic house in Bellville, United States.

The L. A. and Adelheid Machemehl House is a 1+1⁄2-story Airplane Bungalow in Bellville, Texas, built in 1920 to plans by Houston architect Alfred C. Finn. Its upper level sits behind a large wrap-around porch, and large oaks and magnolias surround the house, which stands about one and a half miles from the town square.

In 1920 Louis A. Machemehl, a rancher and land and cattle broker, commissioned Houston architect Alfred C. Finn to design this house. The Machemehl family had come to the Bellville area from Saxony in 1849, and the house stayed in the family until 1953. It was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1992.

The house reflects the German-American settlers who shaped Bellville's character over generations. You can see how such homes served as anchors for immigrant family life in the region.

The site is accessible for visitors interested in exploring the architecture and history of the house. It is advisable to inquire ahead, as visiting times may be limited and special arrangements might be needed.

The house was home to multiple generations of the same family, making it a rare example of continuity over time. This extended family occupation helped ensure that original features and the lived history within the house survived to the present day.
