A bit of history about the cottage from the Austin Historic Landmark Commission:

"Calcasieu cottages were built by the Calcasieu Lumber Company of Austin as small dwellings in the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in the 1880s, Calcasieu Lumber Company was Austin's first lumber yard. The company had standardized plans, and provided all the materials, even the crews for the construction of these houses on an owner’s site. The Calcasieu cottages are unique to Austin, and have a signature Romantic Tudor Revival style, with steeply pitched hipped roofs – many residents have long referred to them as “fairy tale cottages” because of their soaring rooflines. Calcasieu manufactured these cottages through the 1930s, but stopped with this romantic Tudor Revival style prior to World War II.

The Calcasieu Lumber Company was an Austin institution, and their cottages represent a uniquely Austin manifestation of an architectural style that is found nowhere else in the country. Maintaining them in Austin is extremely important."

Lives in Austin, Texas
originally from Texas and moved home to atx to settle after spending too many years of hopping around from city to city. enjoy the music and relaxed atmosphere of Austin and, with the exception of New Orleans, not too many other cities come close. many interests, but the ones that immediately come to mind are travel, hiking, music, & good beer. if i'm able to incorporate them all into one day is generally considered good.
