Haehnel Building

The Haehnel Building, located at 1101 E. 11th Street in Austin, Texas, is a historic commercial structure dating back to around 1880. It has served various commercial purposes over the years, notably as Shorty's Bar, a popular gathering spot for the local African-American community. The building was renovated in 1999 as part of a broader revitalization effort in east downtown Austin and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, making it a significant landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in the area's cultural history.
