Preservation Houston's Heights Walking Tour

In this week's CultureMap Moment, Joel Luks explores a walking tour of The Heights, one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods.

"This is a largely intact turn-of-the-century neighborhood," Jim Parsons, chairman of walking tours for Preservation Houston, tells Luks in the video below. "When you walk around the Heights you really do get a sense of what Houston would have looked like 100 years ago."

The architecture tour, organized by Preservation Houston, takes place at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. For more details, click here.
