Have you ever heard the story of a house that was inspired by a movie? This is the Herbert and Alice Bohn House, a stunning example of Art Deco architecture right here in Austin. It sits proudly perched on a hill, overlooking Shoal Creek and the bustling city below. Built in 1938, it was the brainchild of Roy L. Thomas, the same architect behind the iconic Stephen F. Austin Hotel. Herbert and Alice Bohn, known for their department store, were captivated by the futuristic look of the castle in the 1937 film “Lost Horizon.” They commissioned Thomas to create a home that reflected their love for this particular style. The house is full of original features that give it its unique charm, from the aluminum railings and porthole windows to the magical circular mahogany door that can be lowered between the kitchen and living room with the push of a button. The solarium, with its curved glass wall, offers stunning views of the city and Shoal Creek, making you feel like you’re on the deck of a luxurious ocean liner.
