In recognition of Historic Preservation Month, the City of Tyler and Historic Tyler, Inc. will celebrate the Pollard Residential Historic District’s national listing with an unveiling of the new district markers on Monday, May 11, at 5:30 p.m. at Pollard Park. Community members are invited to attend the celebration, learn more about the neighborhood’s history, and ask questions about the National Register designation. 

Developed between 1947 and 1974, the neighborhood shows how Tyler expanded from open land into planned residential communities, with a strong concentration of mid-century architecture and neighborhood design. Generally bounded by Troup Highway, Paluxy Drive, Loop 323, and New Copeland Road, the new 580-acre National Register district includes more than 85 blocks and 1,200 contributing structures.
