Wahrenberger House, Historic residence in downtown Austin, United States.
The Wahrenberger House features two stories with limestone walls, a front porch, and a portico supported by classical columns at 208 West 14th Street.
Built between 1867 and 1868 by Friedrich Huster, the house was sold to Charles Klein and later deeded to his daughter Caroline Wahrenberger in 1882.
The property hosted two German-American educational institutions: the Ladies College from 1874 to 1879 and the Texas German and English Academy until 1886.
Located two blocks from the Texas State Capitol, the house received recognition through the National Register of Historic Places listings in Travis County in 1978.
Students from the Texas German and English Academy assisted in rescuing historical records during the 1881 fire at the old Texas Capitol building.
