The Starkweather Historic District is within the Independence Heights community, just north of the North Loop segment of Interstate 610. The district is located on East 31 1/2 Street between Yale Street and Cortlandt Street. Starkweather derived its name from F. W. Starkweather, who originally subdivided the land that is now East 31 1/2 Street. For more information about City of Houston historic districts and landmarks, please go to: See more detail.
