About this audio guide
This guide to the Continental Club on South Congress in Austin follows one building through several very different lives, from an upscale nineteen fifties supper club to a burlesque hall, a blue collar tavern, and a punk era dive. It centers on Steve Wertheimer, who took over the lease in nineteen eighty seven and tried to undo decades of change rather than add to it. You will hear what his crew found waiting under years of paint and dropped ceilings.
