The History of the Austin Woman's Club
taken from the Original1929 AWC Yearbook

Home of the Austin Woman's Club

"The charming and distinctive edifice acquired in November 1929, as a home by the Austin Woman's Club demands, because of its interesting history and its architectural beauty, attention and comment in the first year book of the Austin Woman's Club.

This building, located at Eighth and San Antonio Streets, crowns in a lordly way a steep hill which falls precipitately to the west. The eastward looking facade with its carved stone ornamentation presents on San Antonio Street an entrance of characteristic dignity; and, though this part of the building rises but two stories, the castle-like structure follows in the rear the westward slope of the hill toward Nueces Street, resting on terraces to the south at four levels, and buttressed to the north and west with pillars and ivy-covered walls of solid stone.

At each terrace, beautiful stone porches on the south lead upon velvety lawns that are connected by winding stone steps until the foundation level is reached; and here a magnificent live oak of ancient days throws its luxurious shade to a spread of some eighty-three feet.

From the upper porches a view of purpling hills in the distance, of the wooded banks of the Colorado, the fairy foliage of the grand old tree on the lawn well merits the name of Belleview which was given the house by its first builders.
