In the heart of East Austin’s vibrant 78702, nestled in the historic Swede Hill District, stands a remarkable piece of Texas history: the Limerick-Frazier House. Built in 1876, this Austin Landmark sits on a generous .40-acre lot with potential for additional development. Originally constructed by Joseph Limerick an Irish immigrant, this home tells a powerful story of community, culture, and resilience. Later acquired in 1905 by Professor John W. Frazier-an educator at Samuel Huston College. Today, the property offers rare views of downtown Austin, the UT Tower, and Darrell K Royal Stadium-all within a short distance of future green space and emerging retail in one of the city’s fastest-growing corridors. Architecturally, the home is a preserved example of late 19th-century Texas vernacular design, showcasing an I-plan layout, clapboard siding, and an extended front porch that complements the structure’s historic bones. Much of the original detailing remains: balloon-framed walls, tongue-and-groove wood floors, two brick fireplaces, and ornate tiled mantels. The foyer leads to a stately staircase flanked by a formal living room and bedroom, while the second floor includes two spacious bedrooms and a light-filled study. Though the kitchen and baths await updates, the bones of this home are unmatched. Whether you’re a preservationist, visionary developer, or someone drawn to legacy properties, this is a chance to own a meaningful piece of East Austin’s past-and help shape its future.
