Denny-Holliday House
historic place
The Denny-Holliday House is a historic place located in Austin, Travis County, Texas. The structure began as a one-story limestone dwelling, built between 1869 and 1871 by Charles Denny. In 1898, Mrs. N.L. Holliday, a widow with six children, purchased the house. She added a second floor in 1906. Later, around 1920, her daughter Margaret, a local physician, and her husband Dr. Simon J. Clark renovated the residence. They added an elaborate entrance on the north side and stuccoed the entrance walls. The Denny-Holliday House was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, with its historical marker erected in 1978 by the Texas Historical Commission. This site reflects the architectural evolution of an Austin residence through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
