Sneed House

Super Great ❤️

This was a cool surprise I've driven past this plot of land dozens of times but the brush and trees were always overgrown along the fence line so I'd assumed it was just an empty patch of nothing The other day I could see the building from the street so I had to check it out This would be awesome to have open for photography shoots against the aged and crumbling walls

The Sneed House was a beautiful historical landmark in Austin for a long time, until the large homeless camp was set up inside and out of it. It's a shame, hopefully one day we can visit and enjoy it's beauty once agian.

In the mid 1980"s, I was 4-wheeling and found this place. At that time there were no streets or buildings. This place was in the wilderness. The house was overgrown by nature. By accident, I drove up to it. There was more of the house intact and there was a family cemetery in the yard. I cannot tell if it is still there by google maps. I hope it has not been vandalized. I was concerned a few years back that I would see an apartment building in the spot. The movie poltergeist came to mind. Happy to see that that is not the case.

Very rude to city slickers

The house really deserves 3 stars in its current condition. I grew up off East Wm. Cannon and we would ride our bikes all over the place. I was 10 in 1985 and we had many “Stand By Me” moments there. I’ve read other posts about the cemetery, that’s in a different spot closer to 35 and further North. Back in the mid 80’s the house still had most of its doors and the attic loft was intact. We would tell our parents we were sleeping at each others houses and spend the night there. Enough creaks and groans of the floors and doors to convince and 10 year old the place was haunted. There was a carriage house on the site that had a couple cars from the 20’s in it. High school kids used to come around and have parties, but never hassled us for being in the same space. It was the 80’s in Austin. I was sad when I learned someone set it on fire years later, but that’s the world we live in now! Anytime I’m in the area, I drive by to check it out. It reminds me of a time where kids could be innocent and and there wasn’t so much hate. We didn’t see color and nobody in that area had green.

Still a great spot but it was better when it was Chuck's.

Cool place great history

I definitely miss when chuck ran the place. Outside of the establishment two country folk had a whole lot to say about my car, loafers, cuticles, and the old simpson plot.
