It was known for its landscaping, which inspired Austin's first spring garden pilgrimage, and for its imposing architecture. It also anchors the residential character of an area near the University of Texas.","narrative":"Built in 1898-99 at 700 West 19th Street in Austin, this brick and stone house was a wedding gift from Thomas Dudley Wooten to his son Goodall Wooten, a physician, and his wife Ella Newsome Wooten. Dallas architect Charles O'Connell designed it, and the original structure cost $8,100. A 1910 library addition and extended front gallery cost another $10,000. Two-story coupled Ionic columns, a dentilled cornice and a porte-cochere give the house a classical revival look. The property once filled a city block with formal gardens tended by Mrs. Wooten, whose work led to Austin's first spring garden pilgrimage. Later owners enclosed the galleries, converted the attic to rooms and turned the house into student housing, and much of the grounds was sold off or lost to street widening. The nomination presents the house as a local landmark of a prominent family and an example of classical revival taste in Austin around 1900.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Charles O'Connell, a Dallas architect","architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as being leased as a student boarding house, in good but altered condition; a group planned to buy and restore it as a residence and center for quadraplegic students.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.901161-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/47/9737/40973747/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/75002008.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75002008/a1473ec623-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75002008/a1473ec623-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
