Preservation Happy Hour!


Please come to our joint happy hour with Preservation Texas at Snack Bar!

Austin Modern at the Westgate Tower


Mid Tex Mod worked closely with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to host home tours and cocktails at the Westgate Tower.

The Westgate Tower was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places just a couple of days before the event. Approximately 300 attendees of the National Trust for Historic Preservation conference came to this celebration of a newly minted landmark and of modernism and recent past preservation.

Many thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation Western Regional Office and Modernism + Recent Past Program, Mid Tex Mod volunteers, the UT Student Historic Preservation Association, and other sponsors of this event.
