Built as an elementary school in 1892 and serving that purpose until 1976, the building now known as the Swante Palm School located at the northwest corner of Cesar Chavez Street and the I-35 Frontage Road has plenty of history behind it. The building, currently used as office space for Travis County's Health and Human Services Department, is considered historic in part due to its 84-year tenure as a school and gathering place for the surrounding Mexican-American community . . .
