Littlefield House, Second Empire residence in University of Texas, Austin, United States.
The Littlefield House displays a mansard roof, tall windows, and elaborate cornices characteristic of Second Empire architecture, designed by James Wahrenberger in 1893.
George Littlefield, a Confederate veteran who established a cattle empire, commissioned this mansion for $50,000, which today would equal approximately 1.54 million dollars.
The mansion represents the affluent lifestyle of Texas cattle barons and bankers during the late 19th century, with Victorian design elements throughout its interior.
Located at 302 West 24th Street, the mansion currently serves as an administrative building for the University of Texas, with the first floor available for events.
The property features a 35-foot Deodar Cedar tree that George Littlefield specifically imported from the Himalayan mountains for the mansion grounds.
