907 East 13th Street is the site of a 19th-century house in the Swede Hill area of East Austin, known as the Goins-Versea-Nitschke House. Built by the Nitschke family, German cabinetmakers, it is among the oldest houses in the area and is associated with East Austin's working-class German and African American history, including the Goins family who owned it in the early 20th century. The property has been the subject of Austin historic zoning proceedings, and the City Council approved historic landmark designation for it over the owner's objection, preventing a proposed demolition.
