Can you imagine a street where you can still walk on original brick pavers? The Old Sixth Ward in Houston is a time capsule of the city’s past. Founded originally in 1874, it was officially recognized as a neighborhood in 1877. The heart of the Old Sixth Ward is an area bounded by Memorial Drive to the south, Glenwood Cemetery to the west, Washington Avenue to the north, and Houston Avenue to the east. In the late 1800s, Houston was experiencing a boom with a large influx of immigrants. This was reflected in the Old Sixth Ward with its many Victorian houses, built in all kinds of styles, from Victorian and Queen Anne to Folk Victorian. It was a place where new arrivals could find a place to call home. The Old Sixth Ward became a vibrant community of craftsmen, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. It was a place where people gathered to celebrate their faith and their culture, and where families created a sense of belonging. The Old Sixth Ward is a reminder of a time when Houstonians were connected to their history, their heritage and their neighbors. Take a walk in this neighborhood and you can feel the spirit of those who came before you. The Old Sixth Ward is a living legacy.
