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, artists, and musicians who were often denied service elsewhere. Located within the Swede Hill Historic District, this unique property offers glimpses of downtown Austin, the University of Texas 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 (now Huston-Tillotson College). By the 1930s, it became a vital haven, listed in the Negro Motorist Green Book, as lodging for Black 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, with decorative elements in tune with the period’s aesthetic. The exterior boasts classic clapboard siding and an extended two-story porch, which was added to complement the structure's original character. Native elm and oak trees shade the historic Swede Hill Park while maintaining a connection to the surrounding historic district and the neighborhood.Inside, the home has retained much of its original detailing, featuring balloon-framed walls, two brick fireplaces, and tongue-and-groove wood floors. The central entry hall opens to a staircase, with a bedroom and living room flanking either side. Decorative crown moldings, carved wood, and tiled mantels add a timeless charm to the space. Upstairs, two large bedrooms and a study reflect the home’s historical configuration, while a hallway leads to a bathroom and a one-room addition.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.
