Houston Heights Waterworks Reservoir
historic place
The Houston Heights Waterworks Reservoir is a historic place in Houston, Texas, located in Harris County. The Houston Heights community, established in 1892, was one of Texas's earliest planned developments. The broader Houston Heights Electric Light and Water Works facility began operations in 1893, providing water to residents. The specific brick-clad concrete reservoir, with a capacity of 750,000 gallons, was constructed in 1928. This structure is notable for its grass roof. The Houston Heights Waterworks Reservoir was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1983. This site is historically significant for its role in the development and sustained water supply of the Houston Heights community for over a century.
