Preservation Austin is thrilled to share that East Austin’s Green & White Grocery was officially designated a City of Austin Landmark. From the store’s founding during segregation to its endurance in the face of gentrification and increased displacement, the story of Green & White Grocery is a testament to the resilience of Austin’s Mexican American community.

In anticipation of Green & White Grocery becoming a City of Austin Historic Landmark this year, we are thrilled to share the work of Fowler Family Underrepresented Heritage Intern, Matthew Medina, and Preservation Austin Board Member, JuanRaymon Rubio, who assisted in the preparation of this landmark application.

Preservation Austin is thrilled to announce a major new program, Legacy Business Month, launching October 1.

Dry Creek Cafe & Boat Dock, a beloved dive bar that has nurtured cedar choppers, hippies, UT students, and everyone in between for nearly seventy years, is set to close on October 31, 2021. This legacy business’s storied history makes it an unforgettable Austin treasure.  

Stacey Ingram Kaleh and Melissa Ingram discuss their shared passion for live music, growing up immersed in Austin’s live music scene, and the ways in which music venues shape the city’s identity.
