About

Neill-Cochran House

The Neill–Cochran House Museum is a historic home in north-central Austin, Texas. Abner Cook designed and built the house in 1855 as a suburban estate many years before the surrounding area was settled by other homes and businesses. The two-story Greek Revival home features prominent Doric columns and Cook's signature "sheaf of wheat" balusters.
