While some agree the community is rich in history and helped shape Houston, they say the proposal would be a financial burden for many who have lived there for decades.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Riverside Terrace in Third Ward is being considered to potentially become a Historic District but some residents don't want the added property rules that come along with the title.documents submitted
Roman McAllen with the city of Houston's Office of Preservation told ABC13 that this is an effort by a few neighbors who desire to preserve the architectural integrity of a portion of the Riverside Terrace community. He said there's a sincere desire to preserve. "From our perspective, if you want that, pursue for your home! But don't force people who don't want to be in a historic district to be in it," said Riverside Civic Association Vice President Sharon Evans-Brooks.
"When you have a historic home you can't pick up and go to Home Depot or online and replace your windows doors or exteriors. So what do you have to do? You have to restore those elements to those original conditions. But before doing that you have to get approval before doing so," said Evans-Brooks."We have prime real estate in our area.
