Belvin Street Historic District - Texas Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

There are two identical historical markers - one at the south end just off Bishop Street (which is at the above coordinates) and the other at the north end (at N29° 52.839 W97° 56.989 near Scott Street), which highlight the Belvin Street historic district. Parking available on street to walk up and down enjoying the grand old homes.

Note: Per the Texas Historical Markers category, while there are two markers, they have the same number, thus only one waymark is allowed. It is observed that the southern marker is actually three blocks from the first home listed on the U.S. NRHP application.
