Teresa didn’t find her way to Austin until she and her husband, Paul, moved here from Houston in 2000.

Melanie has been a long-time Austin activist active in local, state and national politics. Barr Mansion has hosted many political fundraisers for the progressive movement.

“I have the time, energy and desire to get involved and help my community. I have enjoyed going to the meetings and been inspired by all the new ideas, all the volunteers and potential of our ‘hood’. Running a special events venue, Barr Mansion for 40 years taught me how to work with employees and clients, manage problems that always come up and most importantly pursue my ‘real’ passion which is learning how to be as sustainable as possible. My two biggest accomplishments at Barr were achieving organic certification and zero waste.”
