City Council approved the designation of five historic properties including three Protected Landmarks and two landmarks on August 28. The properties span three Council Districts across the city.
Protected Landmarks (PLM) and Landmarks (LM) are historic properties that have been officially recognized by the City of Houston for their outstanding historical, cultural, or architectural significance. These designations are initiated by the property owner through an application process.
A landmark designation protects resources in the following ways: any building design, alterations, additions, and maintenance to the building, structure, or site must follow the City of Houston Historic Preservation Ordinance. The designation does not provide significant protection from demolition or an inappropriate alteration.
A Protected Landmark designation provides significant protection against demolition in perpetuity and are eligible to be nominated as Significant Buildings.
