Opera House Foundation!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Austin, The Austin Club stands as a distinguished private membership club and premier event venue, housed in one of the city’s most historic buildings. Originally built in 1878 by city father Captain Charles F.

Today, this beautifully restored landmark blends timeless charm with modern amenities, offering an unmatched backdrop for life’s most memorable occasions.
