Little Campus, Historic district at University of Texas, Austin, United States
The Little Campus contains two remaining historic structures, including the Arno Nowotny Building and John W. Hargis Hall, displaying Italianate architectural elements.
Originally established in 1856 as the Texas Asylum for the Blind, the site served as General George Armstrong Custer's base during the American Civil War.
The district was renamed in 1987 to honor Heman Marion Sweatt, who made substantial contributions to civil rights litigation regarding educational access.
The district stands within defined boundaries of 18th Street, Oldham Street, 19th Street, and Red River Street, with convenient access from multiple directions.
The property transformed from an asylum to a military training ground during World War I before becoming part of the University of Texas at Austin.
