Towers and Trees, our newest downtown tour, will explore the magnificent architecture between Hermann Square and Discovery Green as well as the changing dynamics of our downtown. We’ll look at the partially realized civic center plan surrounding Hermann Square, the historic backbone of Main Street, the ambitious 1970 proposal that would become Houston Center, the internationally recognized icons from the skyscraper boom of the 70’s and 80’s, and Discovery Green, the newest catalyst for downtown development in Houston.
Meets on the NE Corner of the Smith and McKinney St intersection, 901 Smith Street. Hobby Center Parking Garage and street parking are available in the area. Parking fees not included with registration.
