SUMMARY:Architecture Walk: Turner Addition
DESCRIPTION:The story of Turner Addition began in 1871 when Nathaniel P. Turner platted the neighborhood more than two miles outside the Houston city limit\, apparently anticipating that the city’s growth would soon fill the gap between his subdivision and civilization. As it turned out\, development in Turner Addition didn’t begin until the late 1910s\, when an extension of Montrose Boulevard finally linked the area with the rest of Houston. With Rice University\, Hermann Park and the Museum of Fine Arts located nearby\, Turner found itself at the epicenter of fashionable development in the interwar period.\nToday\, the Museum District neighborhood contains a fascinating variety of 20th-century residential architecture ranging from picturesque 1920s suburban homes to modern and postmodern townhouses from the 1970s and ’80s. Our 90-minute\, docent-guided walking tour traces the development of the neighborhood and includes work by prominent architects such as William Ward Watkin\, Alfred C. Finn\, Howard Barnstone and Carlos Schoeppl.\nThis is an exterior architecture tour only. The tour will not go inside any buildings. There are no public restrooms along the tour route.
