Autry House is built under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. Located on Main Street, it is built with a donation from Mrs. James Autry in honor of her husband, Judge James L. Autry. It quickly becomes the "fireside of Rice" by serving as Rice's first cultural, religious, and recreational student center.
