Dangers Stone House
Marker installed: 1974
Built in 1851 by the Rev. Gottlieb Burchard Dangers (1811-69), soon after his purchase of this town lot from Friedrich Pape. Dangers, who had emigrated from Germany in 1849, was the second Protestant minister in Fredericksburg. The two rooms in the rear and the cellar were added by Dangers about 1857.
The house was constructed in the pioneer German style, with some walls of fachwerk (half-timbered) construction.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1974.
