Cherokee Place Architecture Walk
August 13, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Please note that advance ticket purchase is required for this tour.
Oilman Henry Masterson developed Cherokee Place in the early 1920s as open prairie southwest of Houston gave way to desirable neighborhoods bordering the recently opened Rice University campus. In the years that followed, businessmen, doctors and attorneys built comfortable homes on Cherokee’s large lots. Many of those homes still stand, reflecting the range of residential styles popular among Houston’s middle class from the 1920s to the 1940s.
This new docent-guided walking tour explores the neighborhood’s history and architecture and looks at how Cherokee Place relates to nearby neighborhoods such as Broadacres and Southampton.
Please note this is an exterior architecture tour only. The tour will not go inside any buildings. There are no public restrooms along the tour route.
