Welcome to Old Austin.
2020
West Downtown Historic Survey
Where we began.
In the first decades after Austin was founded, a residential neighborhood began to take shape just west of the city's center. Generations of Austinites grew up here amid fine homes, shady streets, and schools the kids could walk to.
The neighborhood is still here today, though parts of it have changed a bit. Its official boundaries extend from Lady Bird Lake up to West 15th Street, and from Lamar Boulevard to Lavaca.
The Old Austin Neighborhood Association promotes preservation and livability of this historic downtown neighborhood. We hope you'll take some time to get better acquainted with it.
Our goals.
OANA's purpose is to provide its members as well as the neighborhood’s property owners, residents and visitors a thoughtful, deliberate and strong voice which advocates, protects and enhances the neighborhood.
Our meetings.
All are welcome to attend and observe the Old Austin Neighborhood Association Board Meetings. If you are interested, please contact us.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, December 3, 4:00pm at Shoal Creek Saloon - 909 North Lamar.
