Located at 161 S. Castell Ave., the Hinman House has served as the office for Communities In Schools of South Central Texas for the past 25 years, but with the organization's move to the New Braunfels Youth Collaborative, the building became available. Following renovations, the home will be established as the Trust's new permanent home, Braunfels Foundation Trust Director Emily Hoffmann said in the news release.
The $1 million restoration will focus on structural preservation and maintaining the building's architectural character. The effort reflects its commitment to stewardship, heritage and the long-term vitality of New Braunfels, Hoffman said.
