Roma Historic District, Historic district in Roma, Texas, US.
The Roma Historic District includes 38 buildings constructed with river sandstone, caliche limestone, and molded brick along the Rio Grande river banks.
From 1829 to 1880, the district functioned as a major port for cotton trade during the Civil War, facilitating exports to Europe through Mexican waters.
German architect Heinrich Portscheller introduced specific masonry techniques, including rejoneado patterns and sillar stone layouts, which define the district's architectural style.
The district contains the Roma-Ciudad Miguel Alemán International Bridge from 1928, connecting visitors to both sides of the Rio Grande border.
The buildings display specialized brick molding techniques with rounded corners and classical motifs, forming a collection of 19th-century border construction methods.
