Relocation:
 Our
relocation program is designed to return historic homes once slated
for demolition into affordable housing for Houston. Through collaboration
with neighborhood associations, community and faith-based organizations,
city housing departments and private individuals this program offers
an economically sound solution for preserving these homes and a wonderful
tool for neighborhood revitalization and community development.

Salvage:
 Only
in cases where relocation of the house is not feasible will Historic
Houston consider salvage of the historic building materials for our
Salvage Program. With an estimated 75 TONS of building materials going
into landfills as result of demolition each year, Historic Houston is
committed to salvaging and recycling historic building materials as
an economical and environmentally sound alternative for restoring older
houses while protecting the environment.
Our warehouse customers consist
of individuals as well as restoration professionals. For more information
