Llano, Llano County
Robert E. Wilson (1862-1915) and his wife, Nancy (Byfield) (1866-1930), built this two-story home in 1912. Robert had previously been a successful Llano County cattle rancher and was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Llano public schools. The home passed to descendants. In 1927, respected chiropractor Dr. Lewis Theodore Schrank (1892-1967) and his wife, Gertrude (Carrington) (1897-1989), purchased the home. Gertrude was active in civic affairs, serving as Red Cross Home Nursing Course chairwoman for Llano County, girl scout leader, and executive committee member for the Llano Parent-Teacher Association. The home features original interior woodwork with dark natural finish, full-length galleries, doric columns and decorative cornice brackets. RECORDED TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK – 2023
