Green Pastures, Historic landmark in Bouldin Creek, Austin, United States.

Green Pastures is an 1895 building designed in Stick style with ornamental wooden details and sits on 23 acres surrounded by wooded grounds. The structure was later converted into a restaurant while retaining its original architectural character and features.

E.W. Herndon, a local minister, completed the house in 1895 on 23 acres in what became the Bouldin Creek neighborhood. Several families lived there before Mary Faulk Koock and her husband Chester Koock opened the Green Pastures restaurant in 1946. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Mary Faulk Koock and her husband Chester Koock established the restaurant in 1946, and it served customers of all races 18 years before other Austin establishments were desegregated by law. Koock wrote The Texas Cookbook with help from the author James Beard. The house was also the childhood home of the activist, author and radio host John Henry Faulk.

Green Pastures sits at 811 West Live Oak Avenue in the Bouldin Creek neighbourhood of south Austin. The house stands on grounds that once covered 23 acres, with a wooded area along the southern edge. Visitors arriving by car reach the property from West Live Oak Avenue.

The grounds are home to a population of peafowl that roam freely across the property. The building also served as a filming location for the 1988 movie Heartbreak Hotel.
