Austin
Susanna Dickinson was the wife of Capt. Almaron Dickinson, commander of artillery for the Texian forces at the Alamo. She and her infant daughter were among the very few Anglo survivors of the Alamo and were eventually released by Santa Anna to deliver a message to Sam Houston. She eventually remarried and settled in Austin where she resided in this, her last known residence, in 1865. History had lost track of this fact and the house was being used for a barbecue restaurant until it was discovered while preparing the downtown Austin site for the construction of a new hotel.
Norman Alston Architects were retained to assist in relocating this important historic structure to a new downtown Austin location. The all-stone building was required to be moved intact to a new foundation designed by the design team.
