The Bremon Block Historic District

The Bremond Block is an impressive collection of 11 historic Victorian homes built in the 1850s to the early 1900s. The homes were built by high-society men John and Eugene Bremond, in one of the upper-class neighborhoods in Austin, Texas. They have been meticulously maintained and are now available for the public to view. The houses are part of the National Register of Historic Places and are now occupied by businesses.
