The site includes a two-story, brick, commercial building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark and Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Baker-Meyer Building at 313 Travis Street in Downtown Houston was designed in the Greek Revival style as is revealed in the corbelled brick cornice. The building was constructed circa 1870 making it among the oldest commercial buildings still standing in Houston. George Baker, a pioneer citizen of Houston, was the original owner. In 1884 George Baker’s daughter Rebecca married Joseph F. Meyer and the building has remained in the Meyer family ever since. Joseph Meyer was founder of the Joseph F. Meyer Hardware Company; president of the Houston National Exchange Bank; served two terms as alderman of the Third Ward; served one year as county commissioner of Harris County and was chief of the Houston Volunteer Fire Department. In 1885 Meyer began acquiring land in the southwest part of Houston and by 1893 he owned more than 6,000 acres. In 1955 George Meyer developed the Meyerland subdivision, located in southwest Houston, on a portion of this land. -

STRUCTURE & FUNDING The Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau is a 501(c)6 nonprofit corporation. The GHCVB is a marketing and service organization with a budget presently comprised of certain reserved funds and private funds raised through a variety of sources including investments in events, membership dues, advertising and in-kind contributions. At the beginning of 2014, the GHCVB’s primary source of funding was from a contract with the City of Houston which was assigned to the Houston First Corporation, or HFC, in 2011 and expired June 30, 2014. This contract funded approximately 92% of the GHCVB’s budget from a tax on hotel/ motel occupancy within the incorporated boundaries of Houston, Texas. Upon expiration of the contract on June 30, 2014, the GHCVB and HFC boards approved a strategic realignment between the two organizations to create a more efficient approach to marketing and selling Houston to tourists and conventions. -
Park Sector 16
PARK SECTOR 16 Parks Master Plan Phase II - December 2015 | 351 352 | Parks Master Plan Phase II - December 2015 PARK SECTOR 16 SUMMARY PARK SECTOR 16 PRIORITIES These priorities were developed by using condition assessment information from site visits, standard-based needs analysis (NRPA standards and data provided by the Trust for Public Land ParkScore™ Project), and public input via an online survey, park user interviews, community events and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) meetings. 1. Develop Neighborhood connections to parks and trails 2. Revitalize existing parks 3. Acquire new parkland 4. Develop partnerships with the school system and other entities 5. Preserve environmentally sensitive areas 6. Develop new park facilities RECOMMENDATIONS One (1) acre of parkland is needed in this Park Sector. While the majority of the Park Sector is served by parks within half a mile, there are some areas of need in the eastern portions of the Park Sector. Furthermore, residential multi- family development is increasing in the downtown area. There are few parks in the southern and eastern portions of the Park Sector and land acquisition should be pursued in these areas. Schools not participating in the SPARK School Park Program (Non-SPARK schools) should be explored as potential future partnerships for park space. This Park Sector is deicient in tennis courts, volleyball courts, skate parks, community centers, swimming pools, and baseball, softball and soccer ields. While there is no skate park in Park Sector 16, there is the Lee & Joe Jamail Skatepark in neighboring Park Sector 14 that is a world-class, in-ground skate park that serves the entire City. -
