Ziller House, Historic residential building in Austin, United States
Ziller House is a residence from the late 1800s located at 1110 Blanco Street in Austin, built in the Stick style with prominent vertical wooden lines and decorative trim work. The exterior displays the characteristic framework patterns typical of this architectural approach, where wooden elements create geometric designs across the facade.
The building was constructed in 1877, before Henry H. and Bertha Sterzing Ziller purchased the property in 1881 and gave their name to the residence. This early ownership marked the beginning of a lasting family connection to the house in Austin.
The house carries the name of Henry H. and Bertha Sterzing Ziller, who bought it in 1881, and it entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. No Texas Historic Landmark designation is recorded for the property; its listed status rests on the National Register.
The house stands at 1110 Blanco Street, north-west of downtown Austin in the Old West Austin area. It is a private residence, so visitors view the Stick-style facade from the public sidewalk on Blanco Street rather than going inside.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, seventy years after the Ziller family's ownership began. Its address, 1110 Blanco Street, places it in Austin's Old West Austin area, where late-1870s residences like this one survive in small numbers.
