Just to let you know the tower is gone..They put in a park and are building condos and offices on the old airport grounds.

Thanks for the update...sad it had to go away, but God knows, we need more condos and office space.

A shame as that was a neat bit of retro architecture.

Would one of you locals update the status on this location accordingly? I prefer not to make changes like that myself.




It's great to be alive!

Actually, I think your original post of it being torn down is inaccurate. Since I don't live in Austin, I was taking your word on it, but I saw a photo taken of it on May 27th...it's still there:

Are you sure you were looking in the right place for it?

According to an April 2015 Google Street view image, this tower is still there. Houses across the street and not far away behind it and a pretty nice fence enclosing it. Not sure what the current status is but maybe someone in Austin can go by and take a look. GPS coords. are very accurate on the DB.

It's very much still there. But really not accessible. Lots of security. And, it's getting a facelift: https://austin.tow...ver-looked-better/
