2--25 Courtlandt Pl., Houston, TXCourtlandt Place, established as an exclusive neighborhood in 1906, maintains its unique early 20th century elegance and continuity. Eighteen houses built mainly in the 'teens and 'twenties along a tree-lined, divided boulevard, reflect excellent examples of early 20th century architectural styles, designed by well-known architects. One of the few old Houston subdivisions still intact, Courtlandt Place is protected by the supervision of the Courtlandt Association and its Board of Trustees, backed by six restrictive covenants established in perpetuity. Courtlandt Place is the oldest subdivision in Houston with its deed restrictions still in force, protecting it from the fate of surrounding areas now dotted with commercial enterprises. In addition to the architectural significance of the district, Courtlandt Place was the home of some of Houston's most prominent leaders --- doctors, lawyers, oil men, lumbermen and people who founded companies still prospering today.
