Modern around town.

This image set takes us from mid-century East Austin homes through new builds and remodels in South Austin.


Just about the quintessential AD Stenger home. Located in Barton Hills, this design recalls more of the Rollingwood variations rather than Barton Hills core grouping.


This mid-century modern apartment (4 plex it appears) is in East Austin. Pops up out of nowhere (at least from the street I was on). Could certainly use a bit TLC.


This house is up near Jordan Park in Northeast Austin and sits on a nice piece of property. Nothing else in the area is quite like it (at least that I saw on this trip out there). Don’t know anything about it so if anyone has any info, please add a comment or drop me a note.

AD Stenger in Barton Hills

I just realized that I never published this collection of AD Stenger home pictures.
Sorry about that, didn’t mean to be holding out on you.

AD Stenger was perhaps the orginal mid-century modern developer in Austin. He started work on the Barton Hills homes in the early 50s. A UT student, he never earned his degree and unlike other local contemporaries did mostly spec homes. Stenger homes are largely grouped in the Barton Hills and Rollingwood areas. Some of the floor plans are used throughout the developments, but others are unique without known copies.

A quirky guy, he is survived by his widow who still lives in Rollingwood (in the last house he built).

I put these pictures up over on the Austin livemodern forum when they were first taken.
