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

The Henry Hirshfeld House and Cottage are two historic homes at 303 and 305 W. 9th Street in downtown Austin, Texas. The 1873 cottage housed Henry and Jennie Hirshfeld until the larger house, designed by local architect John Andrewartha in Stick style, was built in 1885. Both buildings are well preserved and now house the Office of Governmental Relations for the Texas A&M University System.

The cottage was built in 1873 and housed Henry Hirshfeld and his wife Jennie until the larger house was completed in 1885. The main house was designed by local architect John Andrewartha. Both buildings were added together to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The buildings show how successful German-Jewish merchants who arrived in Texas during the late 1800s expressed their prosperity through elaborate architectural design and fine building details.

The buildings stand at 303 and 305 West 9th Street and now serve as offices for the Texas A&M University System. Visitors can view the exteriors and architectural details from the street without entering the private office spaces inside.

The cottage at 303 W. 9th Street, built in 1873, was the couple's first home; Henry and Jennie Hirshfeld lived there until the larger house next door was finished in 1885. Both buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
