Former Alamo Elementary School

Written By Preservation Texas

The two-story brick building with Romanesque Revival detailing was built in 1913 as the Sunset Heights School. The school, when completed, stood outside the city limits, though it became part of the Houston School District in the 1920s. In 1926, a one-story Classical Revival building was constructed adjacent to the 1913 school and the name of the school was changed to Alamo Elementary.

2009: Since the 1980s, the property has been used as a maintenance facility for Houston Independent School District. The school has been placed on the district’s list of properties set for disposition, as it occupies a full block in a historic residential neighborhood that is facing significant development pressures.

UPDATE: The former Alamo Elementary School was demolished in 2012.
