Robinson-Macken House, Second Empire style residence in west downtown Austin, United States
The Robinson-Macken House features a mansard roof, projecting bay windows with classical details, and finely crafted woodwork throughout its two-and-a-half-story structure.
Built in 1876 by Elizabeth and John Robinson Sr., the house remained in family ownership until 1983 and earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1985.
The residence stands within Edwin Waller's 1839 Austin town plan and shares architectural elements with neighboring properties in the Bremond Block Historic District.
Located at 702 Rio Grande Street, the Robinson-Macken House appears on self-guided walking tours through mobile applications focused on downtown Austin landmarks.
John Robinson served as chief of the volunteer fire department while later owner Joe Macken held the position of city alderman during their respective tenures.
