European
European influenced architecture has a lengthy history in the
United
States. During the last 100 years there have been numerous periods of
renaissance in European architecture.
Although Austin architecture has never had a strong european influence,
Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio all have beautiful communities
reflecting a european style. For simplicity, the list below is divided
into French Country, English Country, and a general European category.
In Austin, European and French Country homes are common in Barton
Creek, Davenport Ranch, West Rim, and the Summit.
