Join Apra Greater Houston for a
Main St. and Montrose Blvd.
Walking Tour with Preservation Houston
Join us for a 90-minute walking tour of the area around Main St. and Montrose. After Rice Institute and Hermann Park opened in the early 1910s, Houston's South End became an increasingly desirable neighborhood in which to live and work — and it remains one today. This tour explores the beautiful area between Main Street and Montrose Boulevard just north of the park, including the buildings of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the charming neighborhoods of Chelsea Place, Cotswold Court and Colby Court; and the imposing churches of Main Street. Along the way, we'll see work from architects William Ward Watkin, Joseph Finger, MacKie & Kamrath and Carlos Jiménez as well as the newest additions to the MFAH campus, Steven Holl’s Glassell School of Art and Nancy and Rich Kinder Building.
Please register so that we can plan accordingly!
