Aldridge Place Architecture
Neighborhood History
A neighborhood shaped by Austin's past.
Aldridge Place is a neighborhood with historic homes in Central Austin Texas just north of the University of Texas. Homes started being built in the premier development of Aldridge Place about 1910. The Historic Aldridge Place neighborhood was home to a 2012 Holiday Candlelight Tour put on by the Heritage Society of Austin which is now Preservation Austin. The Parlin House at 105 West 33rd Street was one of the homes featured on the four house tour.
The neighborhood was platted in 1912 by former Austin mayor Lewis Hancock. Its landscape and architecture were shaped by the City Beautiful movement, including Hemphill Park and the neighborhood's curving streets.
