Second Ward needs to be given a Historic Designation and Name Signs: Historic District of Second Ward East End. This Historic Designation is long overdue.
Why is this important?
CITY OF HOUSTON/HARRIS COUNTY REGISTERED VOTERS/RESIDENTS ONLY PLEASE:
Second Ward has long been noted historically placed near Denver Harbor as one of the first Houston Chicano/Mexican American Barrios. Mexican immigrants settled here during the 1910s Mexican Revolution. The very first of these Second Ward settlements was called El Alacrán ("the scorpion") which used to be "Schrimpf's Field." A settlement house, a school, and 2 churches (Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church and the Mexican Methodist Episcopal Church) were built In the 1920s.
Furthermore, Second Ward needs to be given a Historic Designation and Name Signs: Historic District of Second Ward East End. This Historic Designation is long overdue.
