Born from sturdy brick and intricate design, the A. J. Jernigan House stands as a testament to Austin’s rich history. The house has seen it all, from its grand beginnings in 1875 to its modern-day revival. Mr. Jernigan, the Travis County treasurer at the time, commissioned the renowned builder Abner Cook to craft this architectural masterpiece. You might recognize Cook’s handiwork in other Austin gems like the Neill-Cochran House and the Pease Mansion. The A. J. Jernigan House, affectionately nicknamed “Las Ventanas”, boasts a captivating past. It even served as a hub for commercial activity in the late 20th century before being lovingly restored to its former glory as a family home. The A. J. Jernigan House, located on 602 Harthan Street, earned its rightful place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Its timeless elegance continues to charm, reminding us of Austin’s vibrant architectural legacy.
