Three Houses. Three Stories. One Westline.

Westline takes its name from the surrounding West Line Historic District, grounding the community in the neighborhood that inspired it. The concept carries that connection forward through architecture by Webber + Studio, bringing a contemporary perspective to a place with a rich past. Together, the sixteen residences offer a new chapter in Old West Austin—rooted in its character and designed for the way people live today.

The house at 1410 West 9th was an early Craftsman home, and for roughly six decades it belonged to Francis C. and Allye B. Becker. Francis, originally from Taylor, Texas, built his career at Austin's historic Driskill Hotel, serving as auditor and later assistant manager. Through decades of change in Austin, the Beckers kept calling this house home.

A house becomes part of a neighborhood through architecture. It becomes a home through the lives lived within it.

Beginning in the late 19th century, Maufrais Brothers Concrete Contractors poured concrete for Austin's buildings and landscapes, and the family name is still stamped into historic sidewalks across the city and this neighborhood.

The Maufrais name isn't only on a street sign. It is set into the city itself.

Westline sits within Austin's West Line Historic District.

The area's earliest homes were expansive estates, later subdivided as the city grew.

In 1887, the West Sixth Street Bridge over Shoal Creek extended the streetcar line known as the West Line into the district, carrying Austinites home from downtown at the end of the day.

Westline continues that tradition: the energy of downtown close by, and a quiet residential neighborhood to come home to.

In the 1880s, the West Line streetcar extended into this neighborhood, carrying Austinites home from downtown at the end of the day.

Westline offers that same return: the city close by, and a neighborhood with roots to come home to.

Inspired by what came before. Reimagined for what comes next.
