Montrose, also known as Neartown, is an area in west-central
Houston, Texas. It is one of Houston's three major cultural areas
alongside the
Museum District and
Downtown, though of all the cultural districts, Montrose comes with the
most distinctive character of eccentricity, diversity, and
livability. Montrose is colloquially referred to as "The Area"
by some people. Longtime residents sometimes call it "The Montrose,"
although that has become less common. The name was originally pronouced as
if it were two words, that is, "Mont Rose." Although Montrose Boulevard
extends from the
south to the Mecom Fountain north of Hermann Park, the
Montrose area is usually thought of as the area centered around the
intersection of Montrose Boulevard and Westheimer Road. The general
boundaries are
U.S. Highway 59 to the south, Allen Parkway to the north, Bagby Street
on the east and Shepherd Drive to the west. Once a magnet for the hippie
movement, Houstonians would consider it as a hybrid of
San Francisco's the
Haight-Ashbury and The
Castro On Montrose Boulevard itself and Westheimer Road, there are
a few original homes remaining—a majority have been converted to businesses
and/or restaurants since 1936. Some former homes fall victim to the
wrecking ball. The real treasures are to be found in the tree lined
residential streets off Montrose and Westheimer where many century old bungalows
and mansions
can be found. map_montrose_museum_district.htm |
