Its design includes a three-bay porch with turned balusters, square posts, and jigsawn brackets under a shed roof. A single doorway with a glass light and transom provides interior access. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1990. There is no historical marker text available for this specific house. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Land Company House is significant for its architectural representation of early 20th-century vernacular building traditions in Austin.
