Elder Street Artist Lofts (Houston, Texas)

USA / Texas / Houston / Houston, Texas / Elder Street, 1101

The Old Jefferson Davis Hospital site is registered as a State Archeological Landmark. The Hospital was built on the site of a historic graveyard donated to the city by Houston's founders, the Allen family.

The Old Jeff Davis Hospital is located at the corner of Elder and Girard, in the First Ward, directly northwest of Houston's Downtown.

The original Jefferson Davis Hospital building welcomes a cadre of new residents after being vacant for 20 years. Avenue CDC, in partnership with Artspace Projects Inc., a Minneapolis-based non-profit developer, rehabilitated the historic structure into 34 affordable loft-style apartments.
