The Allan House began as the private residence of Scottish immigrant and educator John T. Allan. As one of the few remaining Victorian homes in the heart of Downtown Austin, The Allan House offers a truly unique place for people to gather.

We have taken great care and effort to restore the home to its original grandeur. The Allan House is now available for corporate and private functions. Located conveniently next to the courthouse, the home provides conference areas as well as virtual office space for lease during the business week. In the evenings and on weekends the home is available for private functions.

The Allan House is ideally suited for weddings, receptions, corporate functions, and charitable events. The gated grounds include a charming stone patio with native Texas blossoms under a canopy of century old majestic oak trees. The elegant interior space accommodates formal wedding ceremonies up to 75 people and is suitable for approximately 50-75 people to enjoy a seated formal dinner. Using our courtyard for your ceremony, we can seat even more guests.  For our special events and weddings that require seating for every guest, we can accommodate everyone using the courtyard, indoor space, and verandas.  We have hosted many intimate garden brunches and luncheons celebrating graduations, bridal showers, baby showers, engagement parties and bridesmaids lunches, just to name a few.

Our visiting hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30 PM - 5:30 PM by appointment. We are located at 1104 San Antonio Street (across the street from the Travis County Courthouse). For an appointment, please call 512.478.8653 or contact us here.
