Stenger: Austin’s eccentric, self-made architect A Hill County Eichler, Stenger pursued his own vision of midcentury cool   By  Patrick Sisson     Aug 30, 2017, 10:54am EDT  Fitting in wasn’t a concern for Arthur Dallas Stenger .

  Hello,   The City of Austin is no longer issuing new STR Type-2 licenses for non-owner-occupied single-family homes in a residential area.
