Following Wednesday's City Council hearing, Houston's Eldorado Ballroom is one step...
The proposed resolution will add an exemption to the City of Houston’s code of ordinances, allowing rooftop signs on historic buildings that meet several criteria. The buildings must be two stories or less, be registered as historic landmarks and have had rooftop signs during their historical periods.
Given these stringent guidelines, the Eldorado Ballroom is likely the only Houston building to be impacted by this amendment for the time being, said one of the restoration’s lead architects, David Bucek. “We appreciate how narrowly tailored it is to apply to only a limited number of buildings,” said Andrea Greer, senior adviser for Project Row Houses, at Wednesday’s hearing. Greer also mentioned the city’s potential economic benefit from “cultural heritage tourism” brought in by landmarks like the Eldorado.
In 2022, the building gained nationwide recognition when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a “leading entertainment venue for African Americans during the segregation era,” said Elizabeth “Libby” Viera-Bland Wednesday, director of neighborhood development for Project Row Houses.
