YOU!

Old Sixth Ward. The design by Charles Stava has been approved by the
Houston Archeological and Historical Commission, and is in the
pre-production phase. Mary Kay Ash grew up in the Old Sixth Ward, and
her house has been lovingly restored.

new construction is to follow pattern book/design guidelines.

The Old Sixth Ward is still a part of the Houston Rodeo, as many
participants camp out in the Old Sixth Ward in preparation for the parade down Memorial Drive. Monica Zepeda shared this picture of her
on a horse owned by a man who regularly came into the OSW during Go Texan
days to take pictures of neighborhood kids on horses. Giddy-up! |
