Houston has two new designated historic landmarks and one new protected landmark through the assistance of Preservation Houston's Historic Neighborhood Resources Program. Houston City Council has approved landmark designations for the Elwyn & Imola Carroll House in River Oaks and the Frank H. Roberts House in Riverside Terrace as well as protected landmark status for the Hirzel-von Haxthausen House in First Ward.

The proposed High First Ward Historic District will be up for a City Council vote next Tuesday, May 13. With Council's approval, High First Ward would become Houston's 22nd local historic district.
