Everything you should know about the proposed move of the Old Stage Coach Inn

The proposed move would cost $758,107 and take a full night to execute.

Shirley Marquardt, president of Round Rock Preservation, said she would like to see the nonhistoric elements stripped out of the building upon its move. Round Rock Preservation is a nonprofit that advocates for historic preservation of Round Rock structures.

“They would replace the metal windows and finish the interior to the original configuration,” she said.

Until the council makes a final vote on whether or not to move the inn, it will not be touched.

Director of Planning and Development Brad Wiseman said there is no timeline for the move or when council will take a vote.

He said the city is currently investigating what elements of the move the city could do through its own departments to save money.

Round Rock Preservation has started a fundraising effort to raise money for the proposed move. The organization is accepting donations online, through the mail or via a Go Fund Me account.

Should the inn move, Wiseman said he is confident it will be near the new location of the Williamson Museum in Round Rock, which opened June 3.

The museum features actors who portray Round Rock residents in the 1870s, living life in a house constructed during the same period. The actors interact with museum-goers, showing them typical activities of the time.

The museum's executive director, Mickie Ross said the museum has been looking to move to Round Rock for some time.

"To have the history of Round Rock preserved right there will be a huge draw for residents and visitors alike," she said.
