Houston Gardens, Houston

Houston/Trinity Gardens is an African-American neighborhood in Houston.

History

The Subsistence Homesteads Division of the Interior Department, a program of the New Deal, developed Houston Gardens for the purpose of giving poor and landless people the opportunity to become homeowners. Houston Gardens was the only such community developed in Greater Houston.[1] The City of Houston annexed it in the 1940s.[2]

Cityscape

Rafael Longoria and Susan Rogers of the Rice Design Alliance said that Houston Gardens could be described as "rurban," a word coined in 1918 which describes an area with a mix of urban and rural characteristics.[3] The layout of Houston Gardens consists of a large oval parceled on its ends into plots of land shaped like pies. Longoria and Rogers said that "this unique plan is easy to spot on a Houston map."[1]
