Morgans Point Historic District 0/ Peter Flagg Maxson The Morgan's Point Ilistoric District nomination to the National Register of Historic Places was approved by the Texas Ilistorieal Commission's State Board of Review at their meeting in Iiouston last September. The nomination awaits linal reviews by the Texas Ilistorical Commission staff and the Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C. before final listing occurs. TI I.C . architecturdl historian I,isa Ilart anticipates the nomination will be submitted sometime this spring and that listing will occur in the summer.

HOUSTON PROPOSES ITS FIRST PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Since the 1930s approximately 1800 municipalities throughout the nation have adopted preservation ordinances to guide local decision-making about the preservation, alteration, or destruction of significant landmarks and historic districts. Ilouston is the only major American city without any public program to guide these decisions. In Texas, 47 towns and cities have approved preservation ordinances. Research indicates that local preservation ordinances arc among the most frequently used revitalization tools in cities and towns across the county. A survey conducted by the National 1..('1IgUe of Cities of economic development professionals has identified historic preservation as one of the primary tools used throughout the nation in local economic development efforts. Iiouston's notorious disregard for the preservation of its heritage may soon end. During the past several months, following a unanimous vote by Mayor Lanier and City Council to move forward, the city has been working on a proposed preservation ordinance. The first draft of this proposal was released March 2, and, since then, several public hearil1b'S have been held before the Areheological and Ilistorical Commission
and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Following is a brief summary of the proposed provisions. The ordinance would add a historic preservation section to Chapter 33 of the Code of Ordinances, Ilouston, and would be administered by the Planning & Development Dcpartment. 'Ihe ordinance reaffirms the Archeological & Ilistorical Commission (I IN IC), an 11-memhcr voluntcer review body appointed by the Mayor and City Council. I..ocal historic landmarks (buildings, structures, sites or o~jects), districts and archaeological sites could be designated by City Council. According to the March 2 draft, application for landmark or archaeological site desif,'l1ation could be initiated by the owner of the property or by the I IN Ie. Application I'or historic district designation could be made by owners of at least 51 % of the property of the district or the I IN Ie. Arter a public hearing is held by I IN IC, and upon their approval, a recommendation would be forwarded to the Planning & Zoning Commission, which in tum would hold a second publit hearing. A written recommendation from the Planning & Zoning
Commission would then be sent to City Council. Designation would require final approval by City Council. Certificates of appropriateness (G\) would be issued on designated properties upon submission to and approval by the lIN IC. A G\ would be required for archaeological excavation; for new construction within a historic district; for building relocation or demolition and li)r construction, alteration, rehabilitation and restoration of desi!,rnatcd buildillb'S' A G\ would not be required for ordinary repair and maintenance or for any kind of alteration or remodeling of building interiors. Conservation plans for each historic district to eslllhiish a set of standards for reviewing applications for G\'s is optional but not required . If proposed, conservation plans would be approved by City Council. Appeals on any 0\ decision would be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Violation of the ordinance would be considered a misdemeanor offense. Emergency a<.1.ion, including demolition. could be taken by the Director of the Planning & Development Department when the hr.aJth and salcty or the citizenry is at risk.
S. Sterling, who was elected Governor of
Washington was destroyed during the Texas Revolution, and a second town, called Morgan's Point, was devastated by the 1875 hurricane. In the 1890s, a group of prominent Iioustonians acquired forty acres to create Bay Ridge Park, an exclusive waterfront summer resort notable li)r its cool Gulf breezes, carefree social life and the indigenous Texas bay houses described by architectural historian Cordon Wittenberg. A Iiouston & Texas Central rail spur linked the Bay RidgelMorgan's Point community with Iiouston. During its heyday in the 1920s, Morgan's Point had homes built by some of Texas's most esteemed architects, including John Staub, Alfred Finn, Joseph Finger, Russell Brown, and Sanguinet and Staats. Outdistancing the simple hay houSC5 and Victorian cotlages of earlier years, these came close to the "American Countl)' I louse" ideal with the siting of homes on narrow but vel)' deep bay front lots. One of the grandest Texas homes of the decade was constructed here, the massive White I louse approximation built for Texas Governor Ross Sterling and his wife Maude. Other diverse citizens, including Judge Roy llofheinz, Clenn M<.oCarthy, and members of the Carter, Sakowitz, and McAshan families, had hand5()me homes there at various times. The Morgan's Point area went into a mild decline after the Great Dcpression, and northern portions of the community were destroyed for the construction of the Port of Iiouston's Barbour's Cut facility in the 1960s. Some historic buildings were demol-

Morgan's Point Historic District contif1l1£d from front page ished, lost to hurricanes, or unsympathetically remodelled, and many of the associated garagc/stalT quarters on the inland side of Bay Ridge were alienated from the large bayfront homes and converted into singlefamily use. However, the Morgan's Point Historic District retains its architectural integrity and appeal to an unusual degree. Air conditioning and improved transportation to cooler c~mes have Ir,ssened the role of the community as a summer resort. Full-time residents and weekending Iioustonians prevail. Many buildings have been restored, and, after some years service as Boy's Ilarbor, the flagship Sterling Mansion is again a single-family rr-sidence. New construction has generally respected the setbacks, seale, single-family use and, in some cases, the architectural vocabulary and materials of earlier homes. The threat of further expansion of the Port of Iiouston facilities in Morgan's Point has been an incentive for residents to seek National Register designation for protection through Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Existing National Register districts in Ilarris County include the Broadaeres, Courtlandt Place, Main Street/Market Square, Freedmen's Town (4th Ward), Sabine (6th Ward), and San Felipe Courts (Nlen Parkway Village) Ilistoric Districts, all in Iiouston. '("'he Cedar Bayou Archeological District near Baytown and the Armand Bayou Archeological District ncar Pasadena arc also listed in the Register.

The Past In Print FROM SlAVE TO STATESMAN: The Legacy of .Joshua Iiouston, Servant to Sam Iiouston. By Prather, Patricia Smith, and Monday, .lane Clements; introduction by Dan Rather. (Denton: University of North Texas Press, 1993. Pp. xvii, 276. $:~2.50, ISBN ()-9'29:~98-47-5)
by James A. Tinsley Slavery in America was described too long in institutional terms, making it difficult to undersland and appreciate the individual and human qualities of persons who survived that ordeal. This biography happily gives face and identity to Joshua., born a slave on the plantation of Temple Lea in Marion, Alabama, in 1822. Following his owner's death in 1834, .Joshua became the property of Lea's daughter Margaret and was one of filur servants she brought to Texas in 1840 as the bride of eener-ell Sam Iiouston, then between terms as president of the Republic of Texa'; and yet to be elected to the U.S. Senate in 1846 and governor in 1859. A good horsemen and blacksmith, Joshua often drove I /ouston's carriage on political trips in Texas and was thus acquainted with many of the state's prominent personalities. lie also accompanied the family on a pilgrimage in 1845 to visit Sam Iiouston's political mentor Andrew Jackson, the party arriving in Na~hville.iusl Wi the former president died . Joshua benefi[t(~d considerably from this expOSUrl! to greatness, a~ well as from the enlightem~r:I consideration
Iiouston showed his servants. lie gained the rudiments of an education and retained some of the earnings Iiouston received from hiring him out occasionally to a stagecoach line in Iluntsville, the family home in later years. Ilaving strongly opposed secession in 1861, Iiouston read President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 and told his servants they were free to go, three years before freedom came to all slaves in Texas. Joshua and most of the other servants rejected freedom then as an unmixed blessing, given the temper of the times. But after Sanl Iiouston died in 186:~, his widow moved back to Independence and took only two li:male servants with her. According to family oral tradition, Joshua offered Margaret I r~ Iiouston his life savings of $2,000, recognizing that despite her wealth in land she had eight children and needed cash. Dedining the offer, she urged him to use the money to educate his own children. I lis status Wi freedman clarified on June 19, 1865, Joshua legally added Ilouston to his name and married Sylv(~ler Baker, the la<;l of three women

John I•. Nau III, President of Silver Eagle Distributors, is President of the Variety Club of Iiouston and is a governor-appointed member of the Texas Ilistorical Commission. Phoebe Tudor has been active with CIIPA fi)r several years and is a professional historic preservationist. Simon L. Wiltz is an architect in private practice and teaches at Prairie View A& M. This year's program featured a talk by Lloyd N. Shields, a past president of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans. Mr. Shields talked about PRe's "Operation Comeback", a 3year neighborhood revitali7.ation project that renovated ~acant houses, increased home ownership, and eliminated blight in the Lower Carden District in NeVI( Orleans. "Operation Comeback" won a 1991 Preservation Iionor Award from the National Trust for Ilistoric Preservation

After Congress afforded blacks their voting rights and citizenship in 1867, .Joshua was appointed city alderman by Covernors Elisha M. Pease (1867) and Edmund .I, Davis (1870), twice elected county commissioner (1878 and 1882) and was a delegate to the 1888 Republican national convention. Joshua's political career was significant but perhaps the most important legacy that followed his dr~th in 1902 were eight children and their offspring, most notably sons Joshua Iiouston, .lr., I:xlrn to Mary Creen in 1861, and Samuel Walker Iiouston, I:xlrn to Sylvester Baker in 1864. .Joshua., .Jr, was a blacksmith in Iluntsville until he moved his family in 1918to Iiouston.

University and Iloward University in Washington, returned to Iluntsville in 1900, and devoted his professional life to public education. A high school in Iluntsville was named in his honor. Along with another son and two daughters, these five children were rr.arcd in the Joshua Iiouston home in / luntsville. Joshua's fi rst three children, born between 18:36 and 1848 to Annerize Ilelyard, remained with their mother as the propert y of a plantation owner near Crockett. They remained in that aIT.a a1·ter emancipation and were not a part of the Iluntsville family, although Joshua helped with their education and acquisition of property from time to time.

NEW HISTORIC WALKING TOURS
PROGRAM INAUGURATED
In- Danni Sabota The Alliance has revised and expanded one of its oldest, most traditional efforts, the Ilistoric Walking Tours Pro!,'Tam. Always an important educational t!Xl1 fi,r CII PA, walking tours of the Main StreetMarket Square Ilistoric District have been offered twice e,ach month f(lr the past several years. Afier analyzing the decline in attendance rates fi,r the 1993 tours, the board decided to test a new approach this yeM by expanding the tours into other historic neighborhoods around the city as well as a few historic cemeteries. Once each month, the Ilistoric Walking Tours Committce will take on a different topic. The first tour on Super Bowl Sunday in January drew remrd crowds. More than ;~OO people turned out fill" the yeM's inau!,'l.Iral walking tour of historic Clenwood Cemetery, the ~nal n~sting place of such Iiouston notables a<; billionaire Iloward Ilughes; Anson .lones, the last pn~sident of the Republic; Hoss Sterling and W. P. I lobby, former governors of Texas; and Charlotte Baldwin Allen, wife of city founder AU!,'l.Istus Nlen, who actually bankrolled the purchase of the land for the new city of Iiouston from her inheritance. Fifty-thrr-e new Nliance members were signed up, and many tour-goers were eager to lcam of future CIIPA events and walking excursions. The program has not abandoned the Market Square Ilistoric District, however. This district, the birthplace of the city of \ \ous\.on, is on the monthly tour schedule
twice for the year, while another division of the program has been e-stablished to showcase Market Square to a diITerent audience of tourists and visitors. CIIPA has elected to capitalize on the fact that visitors come to Market Square to collect brochurr15 at the Grr,ater Iiouston Convention and Visitors Bure,au's Visitor Infilrmation Center on the north side of the square. Tour operators anticipate that visitors will be curious about the obvious historic fabric of that are,a. Consequently, a walking tour of the district will be oflercd every month on the second Friday at 2 p.m. Various fliers fi,r both aspects of the pro!,'Tam arc being developed and have already proved effective. Nso in the plan for this year is a revised brochure for the Market Squan: Walking Tour. It will be relatively inexpensive to produce while still being attractive and useful for self-guided tours of the district. Ideally, the Ilistoric Walking Tours PrO!,'Tam will serve as a vehicle to bring the .\lliance and its pnwams higher visibility in the mmmunity. While we will mntinue to showcase historic architecture, we will also include stories about the history of the people behind these old buildings and landmarks. I~ively anecdotes and a sense of the humanness that founded this city are among our best educationc~ tools. W<~king tour docents and script writers are working to make these prol-,'Tams acc('ssible to everyone. .\ special thanks fi,r donated assistance the rommillee ha<; n:ceived thus litr: Lon: Dach of Dach Craphiks, for her ke(~n desil,'ll skills on numerous materials; .\llright Parking. fi,r providing parking space at r-.larket Square; Bob Sah,ta <md Brown & Hoot, li,r providing paper and supplies; IJoyd Elliot(, for mnstruction of a new sandwich board silo'll; Forest Park Cemetery and the \rnerican Funen~ Service Mw;cum fill" their a<;sislance in preparing fi,r .\rllil 's tour of the cemetcry; and Glenwood Cemetery officials lill" exhibiting patience a<; hun-

The Texas Hailroad Preservation .\ssociation (I"HPA) is restoring former Southern Pacific Steam I..ocomotive 982 to fully opemtional condition. On display in Iiouston's Ilermann Park since 1957, 982 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1919. Travelling :3.5 million miles befi,re its retin:ment. 982 connected Iiouston to San Francisco, New Orleans, Mexico and the Northeast. In 1922 the Baldwin Works shipped the engine to the Southern Pacific a<; part of "the Prosperity Special," an en; Irt to restore mnlidence in the nation's sluggish
economy. During World War II it carried oil as well as troops. The THPA's restoration of 982 to operation is aimed at communicating the importance of steam locomotives and railroad transportation to younger genemtions, allowing them to witness the juxtaposition of brute power and delicate art in this early 20th century industry. When completely restored, 982 will be used in excursion service. The desire is to use it on the main lines of Southern Paci~c as often as can be negotiated with the railroad . The restoration is the first step in a long-term plan to crr.ate a world-class railroad museum in Iiouston. To participate in the restomtion pn~ject, contact the THPA at P.O. Box 61182, Iiouston, TX 77208- 1162. They can be found at work on 982 the first and third Saturdays of each month. Steam Locomotive 982 is located oppo;;ite the entrance to the Zoo near the pond in Ilermann Park. IIARIUS COUNTY THEE HECISTHY
The lirst Ilarris County Tree He.gistry was published in 1992 and can be purchased through 'Ih~ Park People, the Iiollston .\rboretum and the Mercer .\rboreturn. The Hegistry recol-,'llizes the large, venerable trees of each genus and species in Ilarris County, documenting the I(lcation, owner, and dimensions of I:ach tree.
The first Tree Registry covered some 65 species totaling 142 venerable trces. We know there arc many more venerable trees in Iiams County and we need your help in locating them. This r.rst updating to the Iiams County Trce Re.gistry is scheduled li,r the fall of this year. So, we nced to ~nd those W:X::.' L .1 big trees now and nominate them for the Registry. The onepage nt,>istry nomination form can be obtained by calling The Park People at 528-7725. Many local nurseries and trce service companies have also volunteered to carry the Ii,rms. After recelvmg your nomination lilnn, a volunteer li,rester will measure your tree and you will be contacted about the status of your nomination . Even if you do not have a large venerable tree, find a friend or m:ighbor who does and get the tree nominated. If you know of a large tree on a vacant lot, nominate it. For more inlilrmation, contact Martin Kopal~1. at ;->+t- : ~6:~O.
INSIDE GHPA Thanks very much to Stewari Title Company for a generous gift of $4,000 to underwrite the 1994 Good Brick Awards.
