1935 Flood – Intersection of So. Congress & Barton Springs Road
1935 Flood – Nighthawk Restaurant at Congress & Riverside (notice the man in the center of the photo in waist-deep water)
L. East Produce Bldg (near 8th and Red River?—where APD maintenance is today)
Barton Springs Rd & South First. Does anyone remember what the business was next to the Skating Palace?
East Avenue (later became IH-35) - Brackenridge is in center of photo.
East Avenue (pre IH-35) in December 1959. The Bickler Bldg. is on the right.
Joey’s Fine Foods (Ben White near Gillis) Was originally Spell’s Drive-in, built by Delma Spell in his back yard. Billy Jack Mason’s Enco station next door.
Robert Mueller Airport (the way we used to greet incoming passengers)
Ben White looking east from Bannister Lane. The grove of trees is now South Austin Hospital.
This park had more rides, but I remember the park on South Lamar had a wonderful carousel. Kiddieland Park on Barton Springs Road
Hotel Gondolier - Riverside and IH-35. This was quite the place when it opened. That Austin skyline certainly looks different now.
Congress at Oltorf – spent a lot of time in this shopping center
How many Frat boys risked life and limb trying to steal this bug?
