South Austin Fire Station, Austin, Texas

South Austin Fire Station

The South Austin Fire Station was built at 5811 Nuckols Crossing Road in 1977. At the time, it was one of George's new construction projects.

George designed the building using a light-colored brick. The architectural specifications in the collection reveal that George was involved in all aspects of the project, from the landscaping of the site to the amenities for the firefighters who stayed there. The building includes areas for fire trucks and equipment, as well as living spaces for fire fighters. Ribbons of glass brick provide natural light and privacy in bathing and dressing areas. George also designed a variety of storage and clothing lockers, desks, kitchen cabinets, and even chalkboards in the interior spaces; drawings for each of these features are included in the project specifications.
