Architecture Walk: First Montrose Commons

Preservation Houston’s 90-minute docent-guided tour will explore the history and architecture of First Montrose Commons as well as the story of how the neighborhood weathered challenges ranging from postwar decline to the wholesale demolition that made way for construction of the Spur 527 freeway. Along the way, you’ll see the work of prolific homebuilders Russell Brown and E.L. Crain and discuss how the area changed when the Lockhart, Connor & Barziza Addition became a part of Montrose, the largest suburban residential development in early 20th-century Houston.
This is an exterior architecture tour only. The tour will not go inside any homes or buildings. There are no public restrooms along the tour route.
