History:
The property's grand limestone exterior exemplifies old Austin stone architecture. When the rubble filled dam broke on Lake Austin around 1900 the shores were lined with large chunks of limestone. Subsequently many of the houses on the eastern side of Lake Austin were constructed with limestone from the lake shores.
The home and its out-outbuildings were built in 1906 by Judge Batts after whom 'Batts Hall' at the University of Texas was named. He was a Texas Supreme Court Justice famous for creating the Texas Railroad Commission. She was an artist and the first director of the University of Texas Art Department. Once a B&B the 'Studio' quickly became a favored honey-moon retreat and was voted 'Austin's most Romantic Retreat'.
***Please note that the age of this three-level stone structure makes for unlevel stone floors and a narrow stairway leads you from the lower living and bathroom level to the second level bedroom. Some guests may find these stairs more difficult to manage at night or in general depending on physical abilities.***
