Cite 51: Adaptive Reuse
Summer 2001
Editor’s Note
Though Houston is known as a city with a culture of demolition, not preservation, the reuse of buildings has become a visible part of its development over the past decade. The reinvention of the Rice Hotel, long a downtown eyesore, into upscale apartments and restaurants convincingly demonstrated the possibilities present in vacant historic buildings, and as a result, Houston's older districts have seen a wave of similar projects.
