A Georgian Revival mansion completed in 1931 in Austin, Texas, the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs Headquarters stands on the southwest corner of 24th Street and San Gabriel Street in the Judge's Hill neighborhood, designed by Dallas architect Henry Coke Knight with support from philanthropist Clara Driscoll. Situated adjacent to the historic Neill-Cochran House, the building—colloquially known as "The Mansion" or "The Fed"—is regarded as one of the finest surviving examples of Georgian Revival architecture in Texas. Originally constructed as the organization's headquarters, it features 4,000 square feet of sprung polished oak flooring and now serves primarily as a venue for weddings and receptions, while hosting the Austin Swing Syndicate's weekly dance gatherings every Thursday evening since 1999. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and holds the status of a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
