The Hutto Commercial District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service. The Hutto Commercial Historic District consists of twelve buildings occupying approximately half of a city block in the heart of Hutto, Texas.


Location
The city of Hutto in south central Williamson County is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 79 and Farm Road 1660, midway between Round Rock and Taylor, and approximately 25 miles northeast of downtown Austin. Old Town refers to Hutto's historic district, bound loosely by Park Street to the east, Orgain Street to the south, the Co-Op site to the west, and north just past the intersection of Church Street and FM 1660. The Old Town boundaries are the original 1911 city boundaries.

Features
With charming structures dating back to the 1800's, Old Town truly is the heart of Hutto. Old Town is home to a number of local businesses, shops, and restaurants that attract Hutto residents and visitors alike.

Parked cars line the recently-improved Farley Street on any given day, as the lunchtime crowd packs nearby restaurants. The City of Hutto was awarded a 2013 Texas Downtown Association Award for Best Public Improvement for the Farley Street Reconstruction Project.

By 2012, Farley Street had been completely transformed into a true downtown street, designed for visitors traveling on foot or by car. The street now boasts twelve-foot sidewalks lined with Shumard Oak trees, on-street angled parking, and generous native landscaping. Stamped, colored asphalt in each intersection resembles brick pavers without the high cost or long-term maintenance requirements. LED light fixtures provide additional safety for those walking at night, while also contributing to Old Town’s historic character. Bike racks, benches and trash receptacles further enhance the comfort of residents and visitors using the sidewalk.
In addition to making prominent streetscape improvements, the Farley Street Reconstruction project also included water, wastewater and drainage improvements, as well as the underground placement of dry utilities. The utility improvements ensure adequate capacity for both current users and future downtown development.
The Co-Op property, an iconic reminder of the city's agriculturally-focused past, stands as the future site of a new City Hall. The Gin at the Hutto Co-Op District won Best Public Improvement Award from the Texas Downtown Association in 2016.
