Allen's Landing, Historical waterfront park in Downtown Houston, United States
Allen's Landing sits at the meeting point of Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou, featuring a concrete wharf and riverfront promenade for visitors.
The site marks where Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen established Houston in 1836, shortly after Texas gained independence from Mexico.
The Sunset Coffee Building, a restored industrial structure at Allen's Landing, represents the transformation of Houston from a port city to a modern metropolis.
Visitors can access the park between Main Street and Fannin Street viaducts, with walking paths connecting to the University of Houston Downtown campus.
The landing served as the original Port of Houston, where the steamship Laura first docked on January 26, 1837, initiating maritime commerce.
