Photos 1971-1975 / HunnicuttCops

The cops confer below while the last of the protesters above wait to be carried off the roof of the Hunnicutt House. This magnificent building, home for many years to anarchists and entomologists, was torn down to make way for a church parking lot. Soon after this, Austin passed a historic zoing ordinance, preserving the few remaining grand buildings. Years later, I came across members of this same church; they were building a house for Habitat for Humanity. That was good to see.
