Boundaries of City of Houston Historic Districts.
Heritage district projects are only allowed on public streets and rights-of-way. A heritage district is a recognizable, definable, geographic area that has ongoing cultural traditions and history that residents generally recognize. The heritage district designation is intended to foster civic and cultural pride by protecting character-defining elements within neighborhoods, highlighting the significant achievements and contributions of the community and promoting neighborhood stability.
