Just a short walk over Sabine Street bridge. Easy access to the bayou trails and to downtown

Fascinating tour on its history, and play on interior space and sound. Tour guides are entertainingly sardonic.

buffalobayou.org/visit/destination/the-cistern About the Cistern. The Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern is a former drinking water reservoir built in 1926 for the City of Houston. As one of the city’s early underground reservoirs, it supported the municipal water system’s goals of fire suppression (water pressure) and drinking water storage.

It's a cistern turned art installation - very cool place. Doesn't take long to tour it and worth the stop.
