Before Austin became a city of a million people, you flew in and out of a little airport four miles from downtown, and old-timers pronounced it Miller. ✈️

Robert Mueller Municipal Airport was dedicated on October 14, 1930 and named for a city commissioner who died in office in 1927. According to his own son, Austinites said Miller for years. Mew-ler came later, as the city filled up with newcomers.

Airline service started in 1936. The blue and white control tower went up in 1961 as part of an expansion that Vice President Lyndon Johnson came to dedicate. In August 1980, a tornado spun off Hurricane Allen and tore through the hangars. By 1998, the airport's last full year, 6.1 million passengers were squeezing through a field built for a fraction of that.

The last commercial flight pushed back at 9:54 on the night of May 22, 1999, a Continental 737 bound for Albuquerque. Austin-Bergstrom opened the next morning.

Today the whole 700 acres is the Mueller neighborhood. Two pieces of the airport survived. The 1961 tower stands in Roger Lavon Taylor Sr. Plaza at 3925 Berkman Dr, restored with its original blue porcelain panels after a 1980s makeover had covered them in dull black plexiglass. And the Browning Hangar at 4550 Mueller Blvd, built in 1943 with arched trusses of glued pine because steel was rationed during the war, still stands in the middle of the park.

The plaza is named for an East Austin leader who spent years pushing to move the airport out of the neighborhood, and then fought to save the tower. 🗼

Minerals in rocks and sand react with the cement, forming a gel that swells as it absorbs water, causing the concrete to crack from the inside out. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/concrete-cancer-in-central-texas-pools-may-cause-billions-in-damage-experts-say/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KXAN_News
