George W. Littlefield
(1842-1920) came to Texas with his family in 1850. He served in the Civil War
with Terry’s Texas Rangers,
attaining the rank of major. Following the war he became a cattleman and acquired
ranches in New Mexico and the Texas
Panhandle. He came to Austin in 1883 and engaged
in banking. A regent of the University of Texas, 1911-1920, he contributed funds
for new buildings, study grants and library collections. Littlefield
built this victorian residence in 1894. Designed by James W. Wahrenberger, the
house was bequest to the university in 1935.
