Davenport Ranch
A ranch tract granted in 1854 along the bluffs of the Colorado River, foundational to the early settlement of the West Lake area. The land later became one of the first major residential subdivisions in the modern town.
The Davenport Ranch occupied roughly a thousand acres of cedar-and- limestone hill country between the Colorado River and the route now known as Bee Cave Road. The original ranch house, photographed circa 1890, stood near what is today the intersection of Westlake Drive and Camp Craft Road.
