Earlier this year, we learned that the Waller Creek Conservancy would move its offices from elsewhere in downtown Austin to Symphony Square, a complex of four historic buildings relocated to the site from elsewhere in town as part of federally-funded urban renewal initiatives in the 1970s. The centerpiece of the complex is its striking outdoor amphitheater, built directly on Waller Creek during the same time period.
Serving as a headquarters for the Austin Symphony since the '70s, much of the complex is now owned by the conservancy, including the 1850s-era patron to get the full story and gain access to TOWERS' archive. (Sign-in)
