When E 6th St in Austin was a dense commercial thoroughfare in the early 1890s, my great-great-grandfather’s sister-in-law, Bettie Kern, was a dressmaker with Lizzie Lamme (daughter of candymaker D..T. Lamme) in an upstairs shop at the corner of E 6th and Brazos, where the Missouri House stands in this 1866 photo.

@HeathAllyn Yep, and now you have me thinking of who all lived in this tiny condo unit (originally an apartment) over the past 50 years. Probably more than a few UT students. Before it was built, what was on this hill in southeast Austin in 1970? Just scrub? E Oltorf and E Ben White ran east toward Montopolis and where SH-71 crossed US-183 to Bergstrom Air Force Base, where B-52 wings drooped. #ATX #History #ATXhistory

“Shudde Bess Bryson Fath, a prolific activist who battled to protect Austin's environment and its energy consumers, died early Friday at age 106.
“…[H]er indefatigable civic activism, often in partnership with her husband, Conrad Fath, … endeared her to generations of Austinites who loved their green city.”
