2024 Pier & Beam Spring Party

Join Pier & Beam, Preservation Houston's next-generation member group, as we celebrate our tenth birthday during the 2024 Spring Party on Thursday evening, April 11.

The Spring Party is a chance to mark another year of Pier & Beam's growth and connect with new and existing P&B members. This year’s event returns to the lobby of the historic Esperson buildings downtown — the place where we held our first annual party back in 2014. Visionary businesswoman Mellie Esperson built the Esperson buildings to honor herself and her husband, oilman Niels Esperson; their mix of ornate Italian Renaissance and Streamline Moderne design has made them landmarks on the downtown skyline for nearly a century.

The Spring Party is a great way to renew your Pier & Beam membership and to bring friends into the organization. Please pass the word along to your network — you can click on the invitation below to download a PDF version.

We would love for you to be part of our annual event. Please join us on April 11!
