The Justin Heritage Foundation is proud to share an exciting milestone in the restoration of one of Justin’s most treasured historic landmarks. The foundation work at the Gaston House has officially been completed, marking a major step forward in preserving this early-1900s farmhouse for generations to come.
Built in the early 1900s by the Gaston family, the home stands as a reminder of Justin’s agricultural roots and the early North Texas way of life. Today, the Justin Heritage Foundation is working to preserve and restore the property so that it can once again serve the community while honoring its historic character.
Over the past several days, crews from GL Hunt have been hard at work completing the structural foundation project. This multi-day effort was a critical step in stabilizing the historic home and preparing it for the next phases of restoration. For a structure that has endured years of weather, time, and deterioration, ensuring a solid foundation is essential before any additional restoration work can begin.
Projects like this take an incredible amount of planning, engineering, and skilled labor. The Justin Heritage Foundation is grateful for the team at GL Hunt for helping move this project forward and for their commitment to preserving an important piece of Justin’s history.
With the foundation now completed, the Gaston House is one step closer to becoming the community gathering place it was always meant to be. The vision for the property includes a space where residents and visitors can connect with Justin’s past while creating new memories through community events, markets, educational opportunities, and more.
Restoration is a journey made possible through community support, partnerships, and a shared belief that our history matters. Each milestone—like this completed foundation—brings the Gaston House closer to a future where it can once again stand proudly as a symbol of Justin’s heritage.
The Justin Heritage Foundation looks forward to sharing more updates as the project continues to progress.
Stay tuned—there is much more to come.
