    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission Planning and Development Department PROTECTED LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: Alley Theatre AGENDA ITEM: C OWNER: Alley Theatre HPO FILE NO.: 14PL120 APPLICANT: Scott J. Atlas DATE ACCEPTED: Aug-21-2014 LOCATION: 615 Texas Avenue HAHC HEARING DATE: Sep-25-2014 SITE INFORMATION Lots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 & 12 & Tract 11, Block 60, SSBB, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Alley Theatre was founded in 1947 by Nina Vance (1914-1980), one of the most outstanding theatrical directors in the U.S. and Texas in the mid twentieth century. The Alley is now one of the oldest non-profit, professional, resident theater companies in continuous operation in the United States. From its inception, the Alley Theatre staged productions in an “arena” or “in the round” spatial format, a practice associated with cutting-edge theatrical companies in the mid-twentieth-century period. In the Alley’s first season (1947-48), performances were held in a dance studio on Main Street. Audience members had to walk along a narrow outdoor passage to get to the performance space; this passage was the origin of the Alley’s name. In 1962, the Alley Theatre was given a half-block site in the 600 block of Texas Avenue by Houston Endowment and a $2 million grant from the Ford Foundation for a new building and operating expenses. The theater was to be part of a downtown performance and convention complex including Jones Hall, the home of the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera, and Society for the Performing Arts.

  • Two Midtown Houston Destinations Named Finalists for the 2020 Development of Distinction Awards
    Two Midtown Houston Destinations Named Finalists for the 2020 Development of Distinction Awards Houston, TX, October 23, 2019​ - This month, the Houston District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI-Houston) announced the 10 finalists for the 2020 Development of Distinction Awards. Midtown Park and Camden McGowen Station, both prominent Midtown Houston developments, are among the finalists. Recognizing projects that demonstrate best practices in design, construction, economic viability, healthy places, and more, the prestigious award is modeled after the national Urban Land Institute Global Awards for Excellence. A nominated panel of real estate leaders selected each finalist based on how the developments enrich and advance Houston’s built environment. Midtown Park, Midtown Houston’s newest green space, has hosted more than 200 events attended by 6,000 guests since opening in 2017. It’s quickly become one of the top outdoor special event spaces in Houston, hosting weddings, music festivals, culinary events, and community gatherings. It offers three acres of park and open space with adjacent pedestrian-oriented streetscapes. The park’s larger greenspace – located on 2.5-acres south of Camden McGowen Station – includes a lawn, a pavilion for flexible programming, a wetland stream and trail, native landscaping, interactive water feature, playground, public art, market areas, and a dog park. Camden McGowen Station complements Midtown Park by offering high-density urban living right in the heart of the city. Both are located off Travis Street with direct access to the ​METRORail at McGowen​, BCycle Stations located in Midtown Park and Zipcar locations. Camden residents have access to the amenities at Midtown Park and so much more.
