The Limerick-Frazier House by nomorewars
The Limerick-Frazier House has a century-long connection to African American history. The house was built in 1876 by immigrant stonemason Joseph Limerick, but he did not live there. John W. Frazier, a professor at Samuel Huston College, purchased the house in 1905, when this section of East Austin was beginning to evolve into a largely African American community. After he died, Laura Allman Frazier, his widow, operated the house as lodging for African American students and travelers who were excluded from white-owned hotels in Austin during the Jim Crow era.As you can see the house is surrounded by trees, bushes, & other plant life so getting an average picture was a difficult task. I wanted to enter the yard, but it appeared as though the house was a private residence, so I remained in the street. Sorry about the poor quality.
