The Parking Lot, W 7th St, Austin, TX 78701, US

HistoryThis historic home, located right in the heart of famed 6th Street entertainment district, is protected as a Historical Landmark and was carefully restored into a mid-century modern home by renowned Austin architect David Graeber. Back in the early 1880's, Austin was new and growing. This building was the home to Shamrock Saloon constructed by an Irish immigrant while the Texas State Capitol was being built just a few blocks away. Shamrock Saloon served the community for many years. In the late 70's he completed a strikingly modern interior that sits in great contrast to the original stone facades. Many of the interior spaces are just as David created them 4 decades ago. It is a time capsule with references to times and lives lived over 130 years in this one location.SpecialtiesThe Graeber House offers an exclusive and unique venue for many types of events, as well as an exclusive short term rental location. Unlike other event spaces, this house has an indoor pool, is located right on East 6th Street downtown Austin, and is versatile enough to meet any event needs.
