O. Henry Hall, Renaissance Revival federal building in Downtown Austin, United States.
The O. Henry Hall features symmetrical design elements, rounded arches, and ornate stone details characteristic of late 19th-century architecture.
Completed in 1879 for $200,000, the structure served as a federal courthouse and post office until its acquisition by educational institutions in 1968.
The building received its name from writer William Sidney Porter, known as O. Henry, who faced trial there for embezzlement in 1898.
Located at 601 Colorado Street, the building now functions as the administrative headquarters for the Texas State University System.
The structure combines its original Renaissance Revival features with modern administrative functions while maintaining its historical designation status.
