history:   The Wells Larue House, a state landmark, was built circa 1850 in downtown Austin very close to the current State Capital Building. It served as a townhouse for the family of Waymon Wells who fought for the Republic of Texas. The Historic townhouse has remained in the same family until recently. For Wells’ service in the fight for Texas independence, President Stephen F. Austin rewarded him with homestead acreage known as Wells Branch.

Solution:    The house had been relocated twice in recent history and poorly modified. Rehabilitation of the structure was needed to accommodate modern living with the sensitive insertion of kitchen, bath rooms, and reorganization of spaces. Interiors were developed to compliment the original structure.
