Built in c. 1856-57 by San Jacinto veteran and furniture maker William Carvin Winters, the village’s oldest documented stone cottage represents the anchor of Wimberley’s economic origin: the miller and his mill. Winters used 18” thick hand-cut limestone walls in a single gable style. After his death in 1864, successive resident millers were John Cude, Pleasant Wimberley and John Will Pyland. This dwelling, purchased for community use in 1997, was continuously occupied as a residence for 140 years. It received an Official Texas Historic Subject Marker in 1999 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
