Marker Inscription
Austin architect Hal Thomson designed this 1931 home for Emma Levison Davis. She was a founding member of the settlement club and the widow of pioneer Austin Grocer Nelson Davis. The home passed to the Davis’ son, Theodore, upon Emma’s 1954 death; D. J. and Jane Sibley purchased the home in 1962. The Spanish eclectic style house features a cross gable floor plan with stucco-finished exterior walls, a front elevation arcade and a square tower above a clay tile roof. Historic materials include handmade tile, heavy timber flooring and trusses, ironwork by fortunat weigl and furnishings and finishes by New York City decorator Pierre Dutel.
