This substantial stone Victorian home manages to look elegant and even lacy, despite its stone construction.
The elegant Daniel H. & William T. Caswell House is located at 1404 West Ave in Austin.
The state historic marker on the home reads as follows:
"DANIEL H. CASWELL HOUSE
Daniel H. Caswell came to Austin from Nashville, Tennessee, about 1895. He purchased a cotton oil manufacturing company, bought and sold cotton, and in 1899 built a cotton gin. When completed for his family in 1900, this house was located in the far northwest corner of the city. The Caswell house, which exhibits influences of late Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Chateauesque style, features a corner turret and porches supported on rusticated piers.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark-1984"
In 2016, the Caswell House is operated as an elegant wedding venue and corporate event center. See: (
