All Saints Roman Catholic Church
Why it's listed
All Saints Roman Catholic Church is a brick and stone church at 201 East 10th Street in Houston Heights, completed in 1926. Its long nave is flanked by two towers: one of three stories and a taller bell tower topped with a small stone cross. The ground floor of the front facade is stone, as is the trim on the towers and windows, and three Romanesque arches mark the recessed entrance. Small arched windows sit at the base and top of the towers, the gabled nave ends carry small stone crosses, and good stained glass appears throughout. The parish was organized in 1908 and first met in Fraternal Hall. Over the years two school buildings and two church buildings were raised on the site before the present church was built. Its fine stonework detailing is the main reason for its recognition. The church dominates its corner, with the rectory and administration building covering the block to the east. A canopy over the front steps is the one noted alteration.
Significance in brief: The building is considered significant for its fine stonework detailing, and the area of significance is architecture at the local level. It also reflects a parish organized in 1908 that built two schools and two earlier churches on the site before the present church.

What listing means for this property
Religious properties are listed for their architectural or historical significance, not their religious use. Listing is honorary and does not restrict the congregation's use of the building. The federal rehabilitation credit is generally unavailable unless part of the building is income-producing; some state programmes and preservation grants do cover religious buildings. Federal funding or permits trigger Section 106 review.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
