The Historic Preservation Commission in Round Rock is considering a request to relocate the Andrew J. Palm House from 212 E. Main Street to the Old Settlers Association at 3300 E. Palm Valley Blvd. The commission is slated to discuss the matter on December 12 at the City Council Chambers, as noted by the City of Round Rock.
The Palm House has a history of movements, previously being transported from Palm Farm to its current location in 1976. Its potential new home already includes other historical structures and is a venue for cultural events in partnership with the Williamson Museum, such as Pioneer Day and Midsommar.
The Palm House is known for its itinerant past, having been previously moved from its original location on Palm Farm—ironically, now part of the site proposed for its relocation, encompassing the Old Settlers Association and Old Settlers Park.
Interested parties and local history enthusiasts should mark December 12 for the commission's decision at the Palm House's current location, 212 E. Main Street. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. Updates on the outcome will be provided after the meeting is concluded. Further details can be found on Round Rock's bulletin.
