The future of the historic Trask House in Austin is becoming clearer as city officials discuss its potential relocation and preservation. During a recent government meeting, officials confirmed that the timeline for moving the Trask House could extend over the next couple of years, depending on how it aligns with ongoing building permit processes.
City representatives indicated that the houses, including the Trask House, are scheduled to be moved to a temporary site between October and December of this year. This move is part of a broader plan that includes the Castleman Bullhouse, which is set to return to its original location at the Waller Pavilion site. However, the permit timeline for the Castleman Bullhouse differs from that of the Trask House, suggesting that separate building permits may be necessary.
The discussions highlight the city's commitment to preserving its historic landmarks while navigating the complexities of urban development. As the timeline unfolds, officials will continue to assess the feasibility of these moves and the necessary permits, ensuring that Austin's rich history remains intact amid ongoing changes.
