The Houston Heights Association owns or operates three properties
for the public's enjoyment. Two properties the Heights City Hall
& Fire Station and Marmion Park are available for a user fee:
Houston Heights City
Hall & Fire Station - 107 W. 12th @ Yale
This 7,000 square foot building, built in 1914, served as Houston Heights' city hall,
mayor's office, tax assessor's office, jail, and fire station. The building has changed little since its construction and is located at 12th and Yale Streets. It operated as a City of Houston fire station from annexation from 1918 until 1995. The Houston Heights Association obtained a 30-year lease from the City of Houston and immediately began restoration of this beautiful, historic building.
Restoration was complete in April 1997 and includes a catering kitchen and chair lift. It is perfect for wedding receptions, small and large business meetings, civic organizations, social clubs, parties, garage sales, antique
sales, or holiday gatherings.
Marmion Park - 1802 Heights Blvd.
Located on Heights Boulevard at 18th Street, Marmion Park is the original location of the Cooley mansion, one of the first houses built in Houston Heights. The house was demolished in 1965. The land sat vacant until 1979 when it was purchased by the Houston Heights Association for the purpose of constructing Marmion Park, named in honor of the last mayor of Houston Heights,
J. B. Marmion. The park's award-winning Kaiser Pavilion was designed to emulate the Cooley home's unique turret. This beautiful, tree-lined park and large gazebo are extremely popular for
wedding ceremonies.
Donovan Park - 700 Heights Blvd.
Donovan Park, home of "The Heights Playground" built in 1996, is a perfect location for children's birthday parties and similar events. It is "available on a first-come, first-served basis".
We do request; however, that you take your party trash with you. For the safety of our children, barbeque pits are not
allowed. |
