Ricardo and Tracy – I became interested in the Old Downtown Farmer’s Market after seeing it on a map of Houston from about 1940. It was on Smith right where the Wortham Center now stands. At that time, Prairie ended there at Smith and the Market occupied the two block area between Smith and Buffalo Bayou. I’ve been unable, however, to find out anything about it but its location.

The two giant oak trees at Beck’s Prime on Augusta at Westheimer must have been sizable, even in the 1800s when that part of Westheimer was the old San Felipe Road. What property was it, how were the trees spared the plow and the developer?

Dan – The entry on this site about the “dry Heights” includes the description of the boundaries of the dry area of the Heights used at the time of the vote. And the maps page includes a 1913 map of the Heights (albeit not one that shows individuals lots – see city and county records for that information). If you need help determining where the line runs in a particular part of the Heights, just post. On White Oak, for example, the line runs down the western edge of the Onion Creek lot.
