Property Description

The Limerick-Frazier House at 810 E 13th Street in Austin stands as a landmark of history and resilience.Constructed in 1876 by Joseph Limerick and immigrant from Ireland,this house embodies the cultural shifts of East Austin,later becoming a safe place for African American students,professors,scientists who were often denied service elsewhere. Located within the Swede Hill Historic District,this unique property offers glimpses of downtown Austin,the UT Tower,and Darrell Royal Stadium,with future plans promising vibrant green parkland and retail spaces nearby.Steeped in history,the home was purchased in 1905 by Professor John W. Frazier,an influential educator at Samuel Huston College,By the 1930s it became a vital haven,listed in the Negro Motorist Green Book,as lodging for African American travelers during segregation.Its significance extends beyond architecture; it reflects a resilient community,capturing the essence of Austin’s evolving landscape and the African American community’s contributions to the city’s cultural and social fabric.Architecturally,the home’s I-plan structure is a rare example of late 19th-century Texas vernacular design,The exterior boasts classic clapboard siding and an extended porch,which was added to complement the structure's original character.Inside,the home has retained much of its original detailing,featuring balloon-framed walls,2 brick fireplaces,and tongue-and-groove wood floors.The foyer opens to a staircase,with a bedroom and living room flanking either side.Decorative crown moldings,and tiled mantels add a timeless charm to the space.Upstairs,two large bedrooms and a study reflect the home’s historical configuration.While the kitchen and bathrooms await modern updates,this historic home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Austin’s past and contribute to its future.For those seeking a property with deep historical roots and an opportunity to make their own mark,the Limerick-Frazier House offers an enduring legacy.
