The historic Louis Reuter home is located at 806 Rosedale Terrace in the leafy historic Travis Heights neighborhood in Austin. A state historic marker in front reads as follows:
"REUTER HOUSE
Built in 1934 for Louis Reuter (1886-1945) and his wife, this house offered a spectacular view of the city. Reuter worked as a grocer in his native San Antonio until 1918, when he came to Austin to open a self-service grocery store, an innovation for its time. The rambling one- and two-story stone veneer home reflects influences of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and features cast-stone details and a red barrel-tile roof.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1986"
The Reuter House was added to the US National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
