Established in 1902, Westmoreland Historic District contains some of the grandest residential architecture to be found in Houston in an eclectic mixture of Late Victorian and early 20th century house styles. Despite the intrusion of a freeway along the east side of the district and replacement of some original houses with post-war apartment complexes, Westmoreland retains its unique historic character. Westmoreland Historic District was designated as a city historic district in 1997, and most of the neighborhood is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
