Built about 1871 by Daniel P. Kinney, who came to Austin in early 1850’s; original homesite, at the time an extensive farm, contained areas later in Zilker Park and Barton Heights.

Structure of hard limestone, with 20-inch walls, had rooms added as the family grew.

Purchased in 1937, restored and modernized by Dr. E. J. Lund. The Lunds used unique ceramic tiles and created wrought iron ornamentation, as new features.

Marker can be reached from Barton Boulevard just north of Kerr Avenue.
