 Susanna Dickenson House, 411 East 5th Street, Austin, TX, 78702

This courtyard symbolizes the Earth’s story carved in stone, forming the Balcones Escarpment – entwined with the human story, both written and oral, weaving the tapestry of our collective past. Engraved on the stones and planter are an excerpt from O. Henry’s Austin-based story “Art and the Bronco,” quotes from survivors of the Battle of the Alamo, a Cuahuiltecan Indian prayer, and a conceptual description of the courtyard engraved in Braille.
