SOUTHAMPTON CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
Posted on Jan 14th, 2023 Comments (0)
Happy 100th Birthday Southampton!
Southampton Place turns 100 this year! An entire year of fun events has been planned for the neighborhood and we hope you will join in the celebrating. There will be something for everyone and all ages. A Southampton Centennial Website - www.southamptonplace.org - has been created especially for the Centennial. It includes event details and how to RSVP, a list of logo items for purchase, how to order yard signs, histories of Southampton and individual Southampton homes, and much more. The fun begins in January with a kick-off party and much more will follow – lecture series, garden tours, a crazy neighborhood tour in a yellow convertible bus, a Halloween parade and a grand birthday party in November. You won’t want to miss any of it! For more information about the Centennial Celebration events, be sure to visit www.southamptonplace.org.

THE SOUTHAMPTON PILLAR PRESERVATION PROJECT
Posted on Jun 20th, 2022 Comments (0)
The Southampton Pillar Preservation Project
In the Fall of 2021, the Southampton Civic Club Board embarked on an exciting project to preserve the concrete pillars that identify the streets in our neighborhood and replace pillars at intersections where they no longer exist. The project includes the revitalization (straightening, repairing, cleaning) of the 23 pillars that were/are still standing, and adding 27 new pillars on intersections where none exist. This includes Rice Boulevard and Bissonnet where none ever existed. An additional four pillars are being installed at the intersections of the boundaries of the neighborhood with “Southampton” engraved on them. By early Spring 2022, all repairs/revitalization of the existing 23 pillars had been completed. The fundraising goal of $40,000 was met in May 2022, and new pillars began being cast and installed in June 2022. A huge thank you to Southampton residents and friends who donated to the Pillar Preservation Project and helped restore a bit of Houston history.
