The area now known as Midtown originally developed as farmland on the outskirts of Houston, then was transformed into the upscale South End residential district as the city expanded to the south around the turn of the 20th century. Over the years, South End residents moved to newer suburban neighborhoods and their grand homes were demolished to make way for office and retail buildings, apartments and parking lots.

The area now known as Midtown is a study in urban change. Originally developed as farmland, it transformed into the upscale South End residential district as Houston expanded to the south around the turn of the 20th century. Over the years that followed, South End residents moved to newer suburban neighborhoods, and their grand homes were demolished to make way for office and retail buildings, apartments and parking lots.
