This castle-like building in Old West Austin has a simple crenelated top. That part of the downtown area is higher and this building gave its name to several business. There is still a Castle Hill Fitness, I think. There was a Castle Hill restaurant. It moved to West Fifth and still called itself Castle Hill until recently when it changed the name to Corazon at Castle Hill. But it's not really near the Castle or that hill especially. Just east of the Castle, atop the hill is an abandoned slab from a project that fizzled decades ago. My friend, who has friends who own a very nice house nearby that they rent out, says that some project was going to kick up again and it was going to involve the castle, too. Doubt it will get started until we are out of the trough of this business cycle. It think the building has been an office and a private home.
