Preservation Texas Declares Germantown “Saved”

   

Remember that City Council approved the historic designation of the former Grota Homestead Neighborhood on December 5, naming the area northwest of Downtown just between Houston Ave. and I-45 the Germantown Historic District? First placed in 2006 on Preservation Texas’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places, says a press release, Germantown was declared by the organization in a ceremony yesterday — or Preservation Day, as it was called in Austin — to be “a saved site.” [Preservation Texas] Photo of Germantown bungalows: David Bush

    yea i liked how they cut out the lots closest to the highway, forgot about everything south of the park. Nothing like being neighborly. Enjoy your fight with TXDOT.
