Roberts Clinic, a historic Colonial Revival building completed in 1937, was the first medical facility in Austin, Texas established to provide hospital rooms and care exclusively for the comfort of American Black patients.

[1] The hospital was conceived by Dr. Edward L. Roberts and constructed by architect John R. Bingham in response to the Koch and Fowler city plan, which in 1928 proposed a redlined district for marginalized minorities.

[2] Robertson Hill District allotted a community where the American Black population of Austin could access schools, and medical services.

Until 1967, Dr. Roberts administered treatment for preventative, acute, and chronic illnesses; performed minor surgeries; and offered labor and delivery services for the city's American Black community.

The 2-story brick structure has a projecting full-height centered gable, Georgian variants, and a white stucco portico that highlights the entrance.
