DescriptionMacGregor is a collection of neighborhoods on both sides of Brays Bayou east of the Texas Medical Center. The area became home to many of Houston’s African-Amer-ican professionals during the 1950s and 1960s. At that time some large homes were demolished or converted to commercial uses. As a result some parts of the commu-nity include stately homes interspersed with small motels and deteriorated apartments. Some subdivisions, notably Timbercrest,University Oaks and Riverside Terrace along South MacGregor, retain their gracious resi-dential characteristics and contain numer-ous examples of outstanding architecture.
