The John G. Logue House is a building in the Museum District area in Houston, Texas. The building, named after lawyer John G. Logue, the owner, was designed by William Ward Watkin and constructed in 1923.[1] At one time Rice University's Shepherd School of Music held its classes at the Logue House.[2]
The Federation of Italian-American Organizations of Greater Houston obtained it in 1988 and the building houses the organization's offices and the Italian Cultural and Community Center (ICCC).[1] Because of the latter, the building itself is also known as the "Italian Cultural Center".[3] The center hosts cultural events such as movie nights and wine tastings as well as Italian language and culture classes.[2]
In 1998 the National Park Service (NPS) listed the Logue House on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[4]
