City Landmarks Night
550 McKinney St
Houston, TX 77002
USA
DESCRIPTION
The AIA Historic Resources Committee, partnered with the Houston Metropolitan Research Center and Preservation Houston’s Pier & Beam, is excited to announce an event that provides an opportunity for individuals to participate in preserving Houston’s history.
The City of Houston owns many important public buildings and facilities that are candidates for local designation. However, there is little to no information about the properties, which is how you can help!
The Historic Resources Committee aims to inform individuals about these properties and sign up interested parties to research and write about a specific subject to pass along to the city. If you aren’t interested in writing a report, come anyway! Meet fellow preservationists and learn about how to access the HMRC’s architectural collections for fun or for future projects.
Event Overview: City staff will give a short presentation on the basics needed for a landmark designation report, followed by an Architectural Orientation of the Texas Room by Architectural Archivist, Samantha Bruer. Come for part or for all.
When: Wednesday, May 10, 2017, 6:00 pm-8:00 pm
Where: Julia Ideson Library, 500 McKinney St. Houston, TX 77002
Parking and other information: Entry to the facility is through the main entrance on McKinney or though the garden on the Lamar and Smith sides of the building. Parking is available on the street or in the garage beneath the Central Library on the same block for $2 per hour. Entry to the garage is on Lamar Street.
We hope to see you there!
