Established by the Community Welfare Association in 1929, the Howson Community Center continues to serve East Austin to the present day. The Center has historically served as a meeting place for clubs and organizations engaged in a variety of social, educational, and community-wellness activities, and was added to the National Register for Historic Places on September 17, 1985.
Housed in the building that once contained Austin’s first library, the George Washington Carver Library, Museum, and Cultural Center is dedicated to the collection, preservation, research, and exhibition of African-American historical and cultural material. The original structure, built in 1926, was moved to East Austin in 1933, where it became the city’s first branch library, serving the African-American community in East Austin.

The Texas Music Museum was incorporated in 1984 and received its 501(c)3 tax-exempt status in 1985. In 1986 TMM won state recognition as an official State Sesquicentennial project, with the mission of highlighting the contributions of Texas musicians to the musical heritage of the nation and the world. To accomplish that mission TMM volunteers interview and photograph Texas musicians and collect and preserve artifacts, early photographs, documents, and reference materials having to do with the diverse traditions of Texas Music.
