Historic Neale House successfully relocated to Brownsville Linear Park
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The historic Neale House has been successfully relocated to Linear Park in Brownsville after a two-mile journey. Originally built in 1830 by William Neale, an Englishman and former mayor, the house had deteriorated significantly, prompting the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to request its relocation. Brownsville's project management director, Yolanda De La Torre, emphasized the importance of hiring experts for the move, which involved removing the roof and wrapping the house in a tarp. The city plans to restore the house and turn it into an educational site about local history, with renovations expected to be completed by 2028.
