Houston hosts historic preservation conference in Houston
Houston welcomes the National Trust for Historic Preservation annual conference, drawing more than 1,200 leaders to Houston through Friday to discuss saving historic buildings and revitalizing neighborhoods, from iconic sites like the Harris County Courthouse and Astrodome to converting old gas stations into cafes. The event marks the act’s 50th anniversary and features tours, speakers, and highlights the city’s preservation progress despite lacking zoning.
