Some pictures of the O. Henry House Museum in Brush Square (Downtown Austin, Texas). From the city tourism information, "O. Henry House Museum offers a look into the life of William Sidney Porter in his Austin years leading up to his controversial prison term. After which, he assumed the pen name O. Henry and set about transforming himself into the famed short story writer who authored such universal classics as "Gifts of the Magi," "The Ransom of Red Chief” and “The Cop and the Anthem.” In 1932, the house was moved to its current location, before opening as the first city-run museum in 1934." This is right across the street from the Hilton Austin - the location of the 2026 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention. The pictures are from my visit to the great house museum and from the exterior.
