West Eleventh Place Historic District homes for sale and rent

West Eleventh Place is a small, private, residential cul-de-sac located off Bissonnet Street in Houston's Museum District. Developed as a 'private place' neighborhood in 1920 by architect Joseph W. Northrop, Jr., the district contains architect-designed houses along a narrow private lane landscaped with street trees characteristic of 1920s Houston - magnolias, palms, and live oaks. The entrance to the neighborhood is defined by its original brick and stone gate piers. West Eleventh Place Historic District was created in 1997, and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
