Rice Military, Houston, Texas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rice Military is a neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
The boundaries of the Rice Military neighborhood are Washington Avenue on the north, Memorial Drive on the south, Shepherd Drive on the east, and Westcott Street on the west.[1] Rice Military, which is inside the 610 Loop, is next to Memorial Park.
The area was named "Rice" as the people who owned it were members of the Rice family; the Rice family included William Marsh Rice, who founded the Rice Institute (now Rice University).
The term "Military" is a reference to the neighborhood's bordering of what was once Camp Logan, a World War I-era U.S. Army training camp.
The area is now mostly upper-middle class.
