Driskill Hotel Historic Preservation
Working with HHCC construction in Austin Texas, Electra Johnson was brought in to resurrect the derelict 6th street portion of the historic Austin Texas Driskill Hotel. Using paint chipped on site and remaining leaded glass and stone samples, the interior of the Driskill hotel was lovingly restored to its original grandeur. We found master craftsmen to retreat the leaded glass windows that has been broken for decades and boarded up. We replaced smashed areas in the stone floor with matched stone and restored and put the glass dome back in its place. This project won an AIA historic preservation award.
