Located in Tarrytown, this Mission Revival style house features limestone quarried from a nearby source and red, Spanish-style clay roof tiles. Built for James Martin Walsh (1882-1944), third son of local lime manufacturer and Irish immigrant William J. Walsh, and James' wife Leanna (Brunner) Walsh (1881-1956), the house possesses several defining characteristics, including the curved gable parapet, low pitched tile roofs, shaded porch with corbel arch entry and multi-light windows. James Walsh carried on the family business at Austin White Lime Company and assisted in the development of the Austin area. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2016 |
