Daniel H. and William T. Caswell Houses, Neoclassical residences in downtown Austin, United States.

The Daniel H. and William T. Caswell Houses are two neoclassical residences in downtown Austin located on West Avenue and built from dressed limestone. Each building features distinctive round towers with steep conical roofs and two-story wraparound porches supported by rusticated limestone piers.

Daniel H. Caswell moved from Nashville to Austin in 1895 and established a cotton manufacturing business. He completed these two residences in 1900 as the city was growing into a regional economic center.

The Daniel H. Caswell House has housed the Austin Junior Forum, a volunteer organization, while the William T. Caswell House at 1502 West Avenue serves as office space. Both were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the Daniel H. house was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1984.

The two houses stand at 1404 and 1502 West Avenue in downtown Austin, a short walk apart. The Daniel H. Caswell House is occupied by the Austin Junior Forum, a volunteer organization, while the William T. Caswell House holds office space. Both are private buildings, so visitors see the turret, porches and rusticated piers from the sidewalk.

The wraparound porches are built with rusticated limestone, a material readily available in the Austin area. This choice connected local building know-how with the fashionable neoclassical forms of the period.
