Detweiler House was named by the Board of Trustees in honor of Fred and Edna Detweiler for their generosity to the college. Mr. Detweiler was manager of business affairs and development for Austin College. When Mr. Detweiler retired from the college, he and his wife moved to another location in Sherman and donated the house at 1001 North Grand to the college. Today, Detweiler House is the home of the Vice President for Institutional Enrollment.
