Designed by a prominent Austin architect as a showcase house for the new Enfield subdivision, the house was featured in the local newspaper each Sunday during construction and received the award for "Austin House of the Year, 1926." The present owners wanted to accommodate a growing family, yet preserve the original features of the house. Due to site restraints and mature trees, an addition utilized the garage's footprint adding a mudroom with an open link to an expanded kitchen and a new master suite above. The new carport was integrated with the front façade, replacing the old garage yet maintaining the home's historical integrity.
