Neill-Cochran House, Greek Revival mansion in Austin, United States
The Neill-Cochran House Museum displays detailed architectural elements from 1856, including symmetrical columns, elaborate cornices, and a central two-story portico with six columns.
Washington Hill commissioned the construction of this residence in 1855, using enslaved labor before financial difficulties prevented him from moving into the property.
The museum preserves the only remaining intact slave quarters in Austin, providing evidence of urban enslavement through architectural and archaeological records.
Visitors can explore the museum Wednesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with guided tours of the slave quarters available every third Saturday at 1:30 PM.
During the Civil War, Colonel George A. Custer transformed the mansion into a federal hospital for soldiers recovering from yellow fever and cholera.
