Mission:
Founded in 1998, Historic Houston was begun by amateur and professional
historians and preservationists concerned that Houston's rich historical
and architectural heritage was rapidly disappearing.
Historic Houston is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to
preserving and promoting Houston’s historic architectural and cultural
resources through scholarly research, education and advocacy of sustainable
design and conservation.
