Austin, Stephen F.2014-07-252014-07-252012-011535-7104https://hdl.handle.net/10877/5235On August 7, 1970, the Armadillo World Headquarters opened at 525(1/2) Barton Springs Road in South Austin. This part of the city, located just south of the Colorado River and only blocks from downtown Austin, has historically been a working-class neighborhood populated mainly by Anglos and Hispanics.
