Old West Austin Historic District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old West Austin Historic District is a residential area west of downtown Austin, Texas noted for its collection of historically-significant residential homes. The oldest and best-known, Woodlawn, was built in 1853, and the family of resident Elisha Pease subdivided much of its surrounding land to create the neighborhood of Old Enfield. Today the district includes the neighborhoods of Clarksville, Old Enfield, BrykerWoods, and Pemberton, and stretches from 12th Street to 35th Street, and from Mopac Expressway to Lamar Boulevard.
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, citing 1,574 historically significant properties within its borders.
