Brush Square, Historical park and museum complex in downtown Austin, United States
The square contains three notable structures: O. Henry Museum, Susanna Dickinson Museum, and Central Fire Station No. 1 with its Art Moderne architecture.
Edwin Waller's 1839 city plan designated Brush Square as one of Austin's original public squares, later named after merchant Seba Bogart Brush.
The O. Henry Museum preserves the residence of William Sidney Porter, displaying personal items and literary works from his time in Austin.
Both museums welcome visitors Wednesday through Sunday from noon until 5 PM, offering free admission and convenient metered parking nearby.
The Central Fire Station, constructed in 1938, functions as both an active emergency response facility and houses the Austin Fire Museum.
