The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house was home to two prominent Austin families: H.L. Haynes, a State Treasurer's office clerk and city commissioner, and T.L. DeLashwah, a Black pharmacist and entrepreneur behind the \"La Palm\" businesses. Its prominent siting, Eastlake detailing, and well-preserved interior woodwork, hardware and stained glass are unusual for the working-class East Austin neighborhood.","narrative":"Built probably about 1890 on a triangular rise known as Cactus Point in East Austin, this one-and-a-half-story frame house shows moderate Eastlake styling. Its features include a semioctagonal corner turret, decorated gable ends with round-butt shingles, spindled porches, tall corbeled brick chimneys, and a dormer with colored glass. Inside, dark varnished woodwork, curved arches, and original fireplaces with elaborate overmantels and glazed tilework survive largely intact. The house is tied to two prominent Austin families. Harry L. Haynes worked as chief clerk and receiver in the State Treasurer's office and later served three terms as a city commissioner. In 1917 Theodore La Rue DeLashwah, one of the city's first two Black pharmacists, bought the property. He built a business under the \"La Palm\" name that grew to include a restaurant, candy and ice cream factories, a jazz orchestra, and a baseball team. At the time of listing, the house was being renovated for office use while keeping its historic character.","period_of_significance":"1890","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Structurally sound and being renovated for adaptive reuse as commercial offices, including restoration of the east porch and new mechanical systems.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.39534-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/61/9737/40973761/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83004033.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004033/8ea23308e6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004033/8ea23308e6-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Happywaffle at en.wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haynes-DeLashwah_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Happywaffle at en.wikipedia</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haynes-DeLashwah_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40973761","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000415"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/travis-county/haynes-delashwah-house-83004033/"}
