Originally built by Samuel D. Harlan as a single-family home, it was later transformed into a boarding house in the 1920s to accommodate University of Texas students. The property, located at 2500 Nueces Street, was purchased by Whitehall in 1960 and became a hub for student activism and affordable housing. Over the years, Whitehall has been a model for cooperative living, emphasizing shared responsibilities and democratic decision-making. The cooperative has expanded to include non-students, contributing to Austin’s broader cooperative movement by supporting various community initiatives, including the founding of Wheatsville Co-op and the People's Community Clinic. Today, Whitehall remains an affordable, community-oriented space for people of all ages and backgrounds, maintaining its historical charm while adapting to the needs of its diverse members. Architecture The location of the house has remained unchanged since its construction in 1896. Despite its transformation from a single-family dwelling to cooperative residential housing, the house largely preserves its original design, setting, and materials. The building still evokes the feeling and historical association of student housing, while also honoring its origins as a home for a prominent family in Austin. The major renovations took place in 1925, when two bedrooms were added on the first floor and a second story with 11 bedrooms was built to accommodate students attending the nearby University of Texas. In the 1970s, a group of architecture students demolished a bedroom wall and created a "glass bottle wall" made from 5-gallon glass jugs, using it as insulation. A second significant alteration occurred in 1981, when the exterior kitchen was incorporated into the house and a sundeck was added. Maintenance was often performed by residents who lived at the house—as this was a critical aspect of reducing costs in cooperative living. Artistic stained glass transoms, added over the front door and kitchen exterior door, were made in the 1980s by a Whitehall resident. Additional details include two original fireplaces, which have remained intact since 1896, although they can no longer be used due to the second-story addition in 1925. The kitchen flooring features rust-colored tiles from Saltillo, Mexico, and the exterior is primarily constructed of wooden clapboard and masonry. Despite these various renovations, the house at 2500 Nueces Street retains much of its original integrity, materials, and architectural style.  The original single-family dwelling, with later additions, exemplifies an 1890s Queen Anne style building. The use of creative, unconventional materials and construction methods, such as the "glass bottle wall" created by architecture students in the 1970s for insulation, is an example of technological innovation that speaks to the building’s character and sustainable practices over time. The stained glass transoms and other resident-led artistic additions (like the garden and bottle wall) reflect cultural and folk art traditions, representing the cooperative's spirit of communal involvement and individual creativity. These artistic choices contribute to the building's character and historical charm. The property’s evolution from a single-family home to student housing and cooperative living makes it a rare example of a structure that has served multiple purposes while maintaining much of its original form and materials. Its use as a cooperative residential space also distinguishes it from more typical residential properties in Austin. While the house was not designed by a famous architect, it has been shaped by local artisans, builders, and residents over the years, particularly in the way residents have contributed to renovations and artistic additions. This ongoing involvement of the community in the building’s transformation adds to its historical and architectural significance. The house’s long history, from its construction in 1896 to its transformation into student housing and later a cooperative, ties it closely to the cultural and historical development of Austin. Its architectural value lies in how it retains much of its original design, setting, and materials, even through multiple renovations. The use of the property for student housing links it directly to Austin’s university culture, while its ongoing role as a cooperative adds a layer of social and historical significance. Historical Associations The Harlan House (1896-1925) The Harlan House was built in 1896 by an unknown architect, commissioned by Sam Harlan, a democratic state official and the son of a prolific steamboat Capitan. Harlan’s father, Captain Samuel Harlan (1818-1887), was a steamboat captain sailing out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. According to Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas History , Captain Harlan’s boat, named Washington, sailed along the Colorado river. He was known as one of the earliest navigators of the Galveston Bay, Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Trinity. He became one of the originators and influential stockholders of the Houston Direct Navigation Company, leading to the growth of the city of Houston. Captain Harlan was credited with helping Sam Houston’s troops flee from Santa Anna’s army. Samuel Harlan identified with the Southern Confederacy and offered his services to the state government. Harlan was a large purchaser of mules and horses for the Confederacy during the Civil War, and later was involved in the cotton trade industry in Houston, as well as acquiring businesses in Colorado and Chicago. He settled in Austin in 1887 and lived there with his wife, Sarah, and five children. His son Samuel D. Harlan (1866-1924) who commissioned the Harlan House, was involved in state politics in his own right, appointed as State Superintendent of Public Grounds in 1900. There were many historical  businesses associated with the Harlan family and the 2500 Nueces St. address, including a business in banking, petroleum, and even farm animal sales. Ms. Sam Harlan’s Boarding House Harlan’s daughter, Sarah, would come to inherit the house after Sam Harlan’s passing in 1924. Sarah Harlan was a secretary to the dean in the College of Engineering at UT. In 1925, Sarah commissioned a renovation to add second story rooms to rent to university students attending the University of Texas. Dating back to 1938 in the Dean of Women’s student housing listings, the house was originally listed as a non-university owned boarding house, referred to as the “Ms. Sam Harlan Boarding House.” All university students were required to live in university approved housing and were subject to policies and regulations that closely aligned with UT’s standards for Women’s housing, including curfews and minimum grade point averages. Despite being a privately owned and off-campus boarding house, the women were subject to the same regulations that on campus residents abided by. At the time boarding houses and co-ops were an affordable alternative to dormitories. Dormitories on campus had staff working as the Head of House, who supported the student’s endeavors. Boarding houses and cooperatives lessened costs as they managed their own house with scheduled work hours, fed themselves, and most significantly their head of house was a student resident that was voted in by other members. According to university regulation, heads of houses were expected to regularly meet with the Dean of Women for support regarding student affairs. According to the Deans of Women’s records, the Dean of Women maintained a relationship with campus housing facilities to protect students, promote disciplinary standards, inform health services of illness, and support scholarship and intellectual efforts in the home. According to The Ernest Women , an anonymous essay included in the UT Dean of Women’s archives, the cost to reside in a dormitory in the late 1930s was $72 per month, meanwhile boarding houses and cooperatives were renting rooms for closer to $20-40 per month. A listing from the Dean of Women’s Official List of Boarding and Lodging Accommodations for Women Students, indicates that the cost of a room at the Ms. Sam Harlan Boarding house was $22.50. All students attending the university were required to live in university approved housing. In 1960, the women of Whitehall voted to purchase 2500 Nueces Street from Sarah Harlan, who agreed to sell the property for $25,000. With the aid of a $2,000 down payment loan approved by UT’s Dean of Women and a $500 loan from the ICC, the women of Whitehall were able to purchase the property, finally paying off the mortgage by 1979. This made Whitehall the second cooperative to own the property they resided on, after Campus Guild. By 1961, cooperatives around campus had grown to 18 houses, housing about 500 members—most of these being university owned. Though as stated in John Powell’s Master’s Thesis on the Co-op, “ownership did not come with full autonomy from UT…into the mid-60s the house was still submitting to bed checks.” In 1965 the University of Texas pulled away from its support of off campus housing—doing away with many of these mandated regulations. Now facilities, including Whitehall, were able to integrate and establish their own organizational structure. This shift in power marked a turning point in student housing at UT and contributed to the broader narrative of student autonomy during the 1960s and 1970s.  Whitehall's history as a hub for student activism in the 1970s marked it as a central player in the cooperative movement in Texas, helping to lay the groundwork for other co-ops that followed. The Harlan’s family’s history lends the property a sense of historical weight, connecting it to pivotal figures in Texas’ history, from the Civil War era to the development of early state industry and commerce. The transformation of the Harlan House into a boarding house, and later a cooperative, reflects the changing needs and values of Austin's student and activist communities. Whitehall provided an affordable, self-managed living space, fostering independence, mutual support, and a sense of shared purpose. The cooperative's role in hosting activism and becoming a model for communal living played a significant role in shaping the culture of student housing at UT and in the larger Texas cooperative movement. The house’s transformation into an affordable housing cooperative during a time when dormitory costs were much higher makes it a vital part of Austin's history of providing access to affordable living. This aspect of the property directly influenced how students and lower-income individuals could afford housing in the growing city, giving them an option outside of traditional, more expensive housing arrangements. The house is not just a residence but a living history that continues to embody the ideals of affordability, community, and resistance to traditional, top-down structures of authority. In sum, Whitehall’s historical associations with the Harlan family, early student housing, and the cooperative movement have had a profound and lasting effect on its evolution into the vibrant, community-oriented cooperative it is today. The property’s legacy is more than just architectural—it is an integral part of Austin’s social, political, and cultural history, and its continued existence represents a living testament to the ideals of democracy, activism, and affordable housing. Community Value Cooperative Housing Cooperative Housing is known as an affordable living alternative, in which residents share responsibilities and resources within the house. The operating structure of a cooperative house includes rotating duties, committee structures, and a democratic voting process. According to Many Hands: A History of the Austin Cooperative Community , the first student cooperative housing unit was formed by Northwestern University in 1873, as a means of providing housing for women who were previously not allowed to study at the university before the civil war, and so lacked housing accommodations. Later, this model was adopted by communities throughout the nation due to the Great Depression. Cooperatives were established in Berkeley, Seattle, Ann Arbor, and would first come to Texas at A&M in 1932. The model of students rotating housework, performing maintenance, and sharing food allowed many students who would not otherwise be able to afford university living. This residential structure became increasingly popular, with universities even building housing to aid these efforts. The first cooperative in Austin was formed in 1936 through the Dean of Women at UT, under the direction of Dorothy Gebauer. It was a housing cooperative located on campus named Halstead  Co-op, and within the next year a campus-owned cooperative for men would form as well. The Inter-Cooperative Council was formed to manage coordination between these groups and served as an umbrella organization for cooperatives to address shared concerns. By 1938, there were seven cooperative houses for men, but all of these were university-owned. The first truly independent cooperative was known as Campus Guild, formed in 1937. Here the land was bought, and the house was built by future residents. Campus Guild—a men’s cooperative that no longer exists today—would later play a pivotal role in the independence of Whitehall Cooperative. Whitehall Cooperative Whitehall Cooperative was founded August 9, 1949, by a group of women from San Antonio who were moving to Austin to attend graduate school at the University of Texas. These women were seeking affordable housing, and originally the 24 women of Whitehall resided at 2505 Whitis Street, in a former boarding house owned by UT, paying only $37 in monthly rent. This former location was near the growing complex of Women’s dormitories and cooperatives. By the time these women attended the university, there were already nine other cooperatives on campus, five of them were women’s co-ops and all located within the same block on Whitis Avenue. The Daily Texan article “Girls Work Hard to Fix New Co-op”, shed light on the house structure and original women who established the co-op. Whitehall followed the Dean of Women’s head-of-house organization structure that was common for university-owned co-ops at the time. In Whitehall records it is found that heads of houses, treasurers, and food buyers were elected by the students residing at the cooperative. This original location burned down in 1950 due to a kitchen fire, and the cooperative spent the next few years residing in dormitories on and off campus until their move into the Harlan House at 2500 Nueces Street in 1955. By this point Sarah Harlan had moved to Abilene, where she died in 1963. In 1956, the university began racial integration for undergraduate students. Whitehall, along with many other cooperatives, and supported by the ICC (Inter-Cooperative Council) voted to integrate in 1956. However, this request was denied by the University of Texas who wouldn’t allow integration of its approved housing facilities until 1965. Despite the University’s rejection of their vote to integrate, Whitehall was the first cooperative, along with the Powell House, to pass a resolution not to discriminate on the basis of race or religion. Later in 1971, Whitehall decided to allow non-students and male residents, becoming a co-ed house. The Heart of The Cooperative Movement According to Many Hands: A History of the Austin Cooperative Community, Whitehall members “would become important actors in both food, housing, and labor cooperatives, both in Austin and eventually across the country”. By the end of the 70s, Whitehall became known as the hub for political activism among the cooperative houses. Whitehall members were involved in anti-nuclear political organizing, as well as the founding of several co-ops throughout Austin. Invigorated by ownership of their land, Whitehall worked to teach other co-ops how to buy their own land by hosting workshops. It was a lifestyle that had economic and political implications. According to Jim Ellinger, a Whitehall member of the 80s, many of the first organizational  meetings for Wheatsville Co-op (a cooperative grocery store) were held at Whitehall. Additionally, Whitehall members were involved in the Texas Federation of Consumer Cooperatives, Wind Through the Pines Federal Credit Union, and the People’s Community Clinic. These members of Whitehall would move on to organize cooperatives across the nation. The house continues to exist as Whitehall Cooperative today, known for its democratic structure—housing students and non-students alike, including peoples of all genders, races, and ages. It currently houses 12 people, including working professionals, retired Austinites, and UT students. The independent, democratic nature of Whitehall Cooperative is what makes it so special in Austin's housing landscape. It contributes not only by offering affordable housing but by creating a strong sense of community, a history of activism, and a sustainable, inclusive model of living. By continuing to thrive as an independent cooperative, Whitehall stands as a symbol of what affordable, equitable housing can look like in an era when such alternatives are increasingly rare. It’s more than just a place to live—it’s a vital part of the cultural fabric of Austin, contributing to a stronger, more just community for all. Whitehall Co-op Timeline – 1949-2014 1949 – Whitehall was founded on August 6, 1949 as a University-owned women's student coop at 2500 Whitis. At that time, there were already 9 other coops in Austin, 5 of them women's coops. 1950 – The house at 2500 Whitis caught fire on November 3rd. Whitehall moved to 1811 Colorado. 1951 – After renovations were completed, Whitehall moved back into 2500 Whitis. 1953 – To make space for the International Advisory Office / Foreign Students Association, UT moved Whitehall to the Driskill Mansion at 2610 Whitis in June. In July, Whitehall moved into 1914 Nueces (the corner of 21st & Nueces). 1955 – Whitehall moved to 2500 Nueces. The house, built in 1896, had been a boarding house for about 20 years. 1956 – The first African American undergrads were admitted to UT. The Inter-Cooperative Council and Whitehall voted to integrate, but UT didn't allow integrated housing until 1964. 1960 – 2500 Nueces was purchased for $25,000 in the names of four members. These four women would be the official owners of the house in absentia for more than 50 years. Irene Braden later wrote, “Little did we know in 1960 that by signing the deed we were the ones that actually owned the building.”  1968 – Whitehall voted to sell 2500 Nueces and move back on campus to 2610 Whitis, next to the other UT women’s coops. 1969 – Whitehall voted 15-5 to keep 2500 Nueces as a private women’s coop. 1971 – Non-students and men were first accepted as members. (First, boyfriends were unofficially living at the house, until the women decided that the boyfriends should start paying rent and doing labor. One former member recalled, “We didn’t tell our parents.”) 1974 – “The Revolution”: All rooms became singles (where previously 18-23 people had lived in the house); officers no longer got rent credit; and applicants had to interview with every member. Whitehall joined the Austin Community Project, a coalition of co-ops. 1975 – Inspired by the Austin Community Project, Whitehall unanimously decided to switch to consensus decision making. The house also became vegetarian, and Personal Space was added to the beginning of the meetings. 1979 – Whitehall paid off the mortgage for the house. 1998-2003 – After being threatened with a lawsuit, UT told the University Women’s Co-ops to allow men. Over the course of a few years, all of the women’s campus co-ops were dissolved by UT. 2011 – The deed of ownership of 2500 Nueces was signed over from the original 4 owners to Whitehall Intentional Society. 2014 – Whitehall celebrated its 65th anniversary.
