The Texas Chainsaw House is located in Kingsland, Texas, on the grounds of The Antlers Hotel.

Williamson County in 1998. The then-dilapidated farmhouse originally sat on Quick Hill Road during the July–August 1973 filming of the movie. The original site is where La Frontera is now located, in Round Rock.
In 1998, the house was cut into six or seven pieces to be moved, then reassembled and restored to its original condition by master carpenter Anthony Mayfield on behalf of an investor couple in Austin, Texas. The house was a "pattern book" house, designed possibly by A.W. Selure (a French-American immigrant who designed other architecturally similar houses). Or Carl Carlson (the reported builder of the three houses). Ordered from a catalog (likely A.E. Belford lumber, who sold Selures designs in their catalogs. One of the two houses supposedly contains lumber and other hardware from Nalle Lumber Company. The house in the 1974 film was assembled on site from a package of materials brought by wagon or train. The house featured in the film was one of three identical houses, built within walking distance of each other. One house is known today as the 'Burkland-Frisk house', built for and owned by Leonard Rueben Frisk and his family. This house was later moved as well, to Georgetown, overlooking the San Gabriel River. The third house has little known history; It was sold in 1969 for the construction of the new CR 172, where it sat abandoned with its sisters. This house later burned down and was lost forever. Research indicates the house in the film was likely built between 1908/1909 and 1910, along with its sister home and a no longer existing triplet.
