The Driskill still carries its 1886 Texas grandeur through stained glass, carved wood and balconies above Sixth Street. In 1934, Lyndon B. Johnson met Claudia 'Lady Bird' Taylor for breakfast in the hotel coffee shop on their first date; the National Park Service and Time independently preserve the scene, including his startling proposal that morning. The story gives Austin's landmark five-star hotel an unusually intimate presidential chapter—history beginning not in a ballroom, but over breakfast.
