Henry Hirshfeld House and Cottage, Nineteenth-century house and cottage in downtown Austin, United States

The Henry Hirshfeld House features Victorian architectural elements including a double gallery, bay windows, stained glass features, and detailed limestone accents throughout the exterior.

The property consists of a stone cottage built in 1873 and a larger house completed in 1885, both designed by architect John Andrewartha for merchant Henry Hirshfeld.

The buildings represent the architectural preferences of successful German-Jewish merchants who settled in Texas during the late nineteenth century.

Located at 303 and 305 West 9th Street, the buildings now function as offices for the Texas A&M University System's Governmental Relations department.

The original cottage includes an observation platform known as a widow's walk on its roof and decorative jigsaw details along the porch structure.
