The Death and Life of Congress Avenue’s Neglected Historic Buildings

James Rambin May 6, 2021 Comment

If you follow the (metaphorical) twists and turns of the so-called Main Street of Texas on the downtown stretch of Congress Avenue, you might also know the frustratingly extended story of three adjacent storefronts at 907, 909, and 911 Congress Avenue. The 907 and 909 buildings, both dating back to the 1880s, have historic designation — they’re known as the Grandberry…

At Eighth and Congress, Demolition’s Underway for the Hyatt Centric Tower

James Rambin April 3, 2020 Comment

After a brief pause in local construction due to pandemic-related concerns, work is spinning back up at sites around Austin — and one of them is really, really visible, smack in the middle of downtown at the corner of Eighth Street and Congress Avenue.

Sidewalk Cafe, ‘Weird’ Statue Planned for Scarbrough Building on Congress

James Rambin April 23, 2018 Comment

Plans for improvements on the ground floor of downtown Austin’s historic Scarbrough Building appear to be moving forward, based on new documents out of the city’s Historic Landmark Commission. Remember, everything built in the Congress Avenue Historic District has to hit the commission’s desk at some point, and this project’s up for discussion at tonight’s meeting, giving…

Getting to Know the Avenue, Downtown’s Upcoming Experiment in Car-Free Living

James Rambin April 12, 2018 Comment

With so many tower projects in the works for downtown Austin, picking a favorite is a lot like picking a favorite child — you’ve probably got one, but it’s not polite to talk about in front of the other buildings. Still, the Avenue apartment tower planned at 721 Congress Avenue is high on my list, for a…
