Tavern

According to historical records, The Tavern with it's distinctive one-of-a-kind architecture in Austin was founded in 1916, before Lamar Boulevard was created. It opened as a grocery store on Ruiz Street, which, at the time, was on the outskirts of this town of 30, 000. R. Niles Graham hired Hugo Kuehne who brought the building plans from Europe and modeled the house after a German Public House.
