PRESERVATION AUSTIN 3
H HERITAGE QUIZ by Rebekah Dobrasko
reservation Austin presents a Heritage Quiz P through Facebook the first Friday of every month. The first respondent to correctly identify a local landmark receives a $5 gift card to Cenote (and, naturally, the satisfaction of a job well done).
Here are this spring’s landmarks and winners:
APRIL: The Lamar Boulevard Bridge over the Colorado River (now Lady Bird Lamar Boulevard Bridge Lake) opened in 1942 along the new Lamar Boulevard that connected north and south Austin. The Texas Highway Department designed the reinforced concrete bridge with Art Deco detailing and open arch spandrels best seen from the river. Lamar Boulevard, historically designated as State Highway 20, began as a Work Projects Administration project in 1939 to connect Austin to the Fredricksburg Highway and as a downtown bypass. By the time the bridge was completed in 1942, Lamar Boulevard had been declared a part of the strategic military highway network and was considered part of Austin’s contribution to the World War II effort. The bridge still serves as an important link and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. For more on Texas’ historic bridges, visit http://www.thc.state.tx.us/ learn/historic-bridges-texas. H Winner: Gregory Smith
MAY: Austin High School’s second building stands at 1212 Rio Grande Avenue, which is now a campus of the Austin Community College campus. The school was originally built in 1915 as the John Allan Junior High School. By 1924, the first Austin High School ran out of space, and the Junior High and Austin High traded buildings. Austin High began building additional classrooms at its “new” campus in 1925. In 1929, the school received a new gym, and in 1939 the school district constructed 24 additional classrooms, a Band Hall, and a tunnel under West Avenue to The former Austin High School reach these buildings. By 1951, 3000 white students attended Austin High. The early 1950s saw the construction of two new white high schools, A.N. McCallum High and William B. Travis High and the construction of a new black high school, L.C. Anderson High. Austin High was renamed Stephen F. Austin High. Continued growth, curriculum changes, and parking needs forced Austin High to relocate to its current location on West Cesar Chavez to accommodate growth and expansion. The first day of school at the new Lakeside Campus was August 25, 1975. H Winner: Bonnie T. Wilson
JUNE: The Millet Opera House at 110 E. 9th Street opened in 1878 with 800 moveable seats, boxes, and a balcony. Captain Charles Millet, a businessman and property owner, hired architect Frederick Ruffini to design the limestone structure. In addition to operas, the Millet Opera House staged plays, musical recitals, conventions, and graduation exercises. Millet owned and operated the Opera House until 1896. The new owners turned the building into a roller skating rink. Subsequent owners/operators were the Knights of Columbus, the Austin Millet Opera House Independent School District, and the current tenant, The Austin Club. The Millet Opera House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is a State Antiquities Landmark, and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. H Winner: Mollie Cleveland
