The Michael Paggi House is a one-story, handmade brick house in the Greek Revival style that predates the Civil War and is one of the oldest buildings in Austin. In 1967 the house was vacated by the Paggi family and later condemned. In the mid-1970s, it was restored and was home to the Paggi House restaurant until closing in 2014. Paggi House is an Austin Historic Landmark, Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Loren has worked in partnership with Austin’s Historic Landmark Commission and Historic Preservation Office to carefully protect and restore the house. Non-historic elements were removed, new walkways installed to improve accessibility, and a new low-profile roof was constructed to re-enclose the courtyard creating a revitalized event space.
