HISTORIC PRESERVATION

• HAHC Upcoming Meetings and Minutes
• Houston Heights Historic District Design Guide
• Historic Properties Pending Designation

Houston's Historic Preservation Ordinance, adopted by City Council in 1995, recognizes and protects the city's historic sites, many of which are in a five-mile radius of downtown.

Charged with administering the ordinance is the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission (HAHC).

HAHC is responsible for overseeing all aspects of historic preservation activities including reviewing

• landmarks and protected landmark designations, historic districts and
• certificates of appropriateness.

By preserving the city's valuable historic resources, residents and visitors are visibly reminded of our culture and heritage, boosting civic pride and economic prosperity.
