House at 1170 San Bernard Street
a.k.a. Site #20
1170 San Bernard St., Austin, TXBecause lot 2, Block 6, has been the location of more than one house, it is not possible to ascribe a precise construction date to the structure at 1170 San Bernard. However, architectural detailing suggests that the house was built soon after 1900. Carefully renovated after 1980, the structure is an excellent, largely intact example of a small, vernacular, late Victorian cottage.
