Explore the city from a vantage point most people don't see: The waterway that gave Houston life and has been its backbone for 175 years. Architecture Center Houston partners with Buffalo Bayou Partnership to offer guests a stroll along Buffalo Bayou Parkway for an overview of downtown Houston's history and architecture from its beginnings in 1836 to the efforts to revitalize the central city today.
The tour showcases the innovative bayou reclamation efforts of the City of Houston, Harris County and Buffalo Bayou Partnership, while discussing history and preservation, contemporary architecture, the bayou and adjacent parkland.
Meet in the northeast corner of Market Square Park.
