About the Historic
Neighborhoods Council
Houston has many historic
neighborhoods, grand and small, that are incredible assets to
the quality of life in our city. HNC is the voice of Houston's
National Register and City Historic Districts and other neighborhoods
with significant historic resources.
Historic Neighborhoods Council has an effective and proactive
program of work. It promotes the preservation and revitalization
of Houston's historic neighborhoods by facilitating cooperation
and the sharing of information and effort. GHPA believes that,
by working together, these neighborhoods can become a powerful
force for positive change on issues of importance to neighborhoods
throughout the city. HNC meets monthly. Visitors interested
in historic preservation are welcome to attend.
HNC membership benefits include
monthly educational meetings and special seminars. The monthly
HNC newsletter highlights the work of the Historic Neighborhoods
Council, GHPA programs and calendar, and special events within
historic neighborhoods. In addition, members may use HNC's preservation
and neighborhood library, gain assistance with landmark and
city historic district applications, design guidelines, National
Register applications, and local and state programs.
There is strength in numbers, and HNC is growing rapidly. When
we go to City Council to gain better public policy for historic
preservation, when we talk to neighborhoods about obtaining
historic designation, or when we work with a property owner
to assist him in saving a building, HNC's members support GHPA
in its mission.
Civic associations that are members of the GHPA at the non-profit
level ($50 per year) are entitled to full voting privileges
and unlimited member participation. If you are interested
in neighborhood research, education and action, join us at our
next meeting or call the GHPA office at 713.216.5000.

Director Thomas McWhorter at tmcwhorter@ghpa.org.
