Tillie’s, which opened October 1, 2018, is named after owner Whit Hank’s great-grandmother, Attila “Tillie” Hancock, a prominent early Austinite and first female developer in Austin. Tillie’s, the Camp Lucy resort’s on-site restaurant, is tucked away in beautiful Dripping Springs – The Wedding Capital of Texas!
The old town hall building that shapes Tillie’s is one of several reconstructed Vietnamese buildings at Camp Lucy; the others are part of the wedding venues, the restaurant’s private dining room, and soon-to-open spa. Taken apart piece by piece and carefully bubble-wrapped in Vietnam, the town hall was shipped by boat to Houston and then delivered to Camp Lucy. The building was reconstructed on-site over the course of three months. The beams still bear the chalk numbers used to put the building back together – without any nails!
Designers Paul Smith and @deborah_kirk_interiors were instrumental in bringing the Vietnamese architectural essence to life.
