Downtown, TX Historic Property Listings web-based database

From the "about" page: "Downtown, TX is an online building inventory for Texas downtowns featuring historic property listings. The concept arose from a focused Initiative by the Texas Historical Commission to increase and influence the market exposure of available historic properties in downtowns across Texas. The purpose is to attract entrepreneurs and investors who value historic architecture, appreciate the special qualities of each place and who are motivated by “doing the right thing” for the community. Downtown, TX exists to make it easier for these people to find, invest in and enhance historic buildings and places. Besides featuring investment opportunities in the context of the community, the site also highlights incentives, provides a direct connection to the correct local contacts and clarifies the local development process. As a complete inventory with historic building information, history lovers and old building enthusiasts are welcome just to browse as well. Downtown, TX came online in September 2016 with the first four pilot cities who are all either Texas Main Street Cities or participate in the THC’s Certified Local Government Program. The site officially launches May 1, 2017, for Preservation Month with about 20 cities going live and a series of property tours showcasing opportunities in the local markets. This is an evolving, collaborative project guided by the Community Heritage Development Division of the Texas Historical Commission and the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission. Additional Texas Main Street cities and Certified Local Government communities will be continually added through 2017. When fully populated, Downtown, TX will showcase opportunities in hundreds of downtowns across Texas." Funding was provided in part by a 2015 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission (project number TX-15-020) administered by the Texas State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P15AF00187) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
