Digital Architecture Walks

Preservation Houston’s Digital Architecture Walks bring the city’s history and architecture to you. Explore distinctive neighborhoods and landmarks through videos, self-guided tours and other resources — all at your own pace, whether you're across town or across the country.

What you’ll find

Our digital tours complement our in-person Architecture Walks, offering a closer look at places that are hard to cover on a standard walking tour. You’ll learn about the people, ideas and events that shaped Houston — and see details that make each place unique.

Start with Lower Westheimer

We’re launching this series with a seven-part video tour of lower Westheimer, an eclectic corridor filled with character and history. Heavy traffic and noise make it challenging for an in-person tour, but online you can experience its stories without distractions.

Watch the videos below — and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you won’t miss new releases as we explore more of Houston’s architectural heritage.
