The Conservancy and the City of Houston collaborated on a restoration project in the Japanese Garden ahead of the garden's 25th anniversary in 2017. The restoration project included structural improvements as well as a new dry-stream garden. Architecture firm Curtis & Windham moved forward with the next phase of restoration of Hermann Park's historic clubhouse, built in 1933. By the end of fiscal year, the Conservancy had secured nearly $4.3 million. 3812121 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 41 0 true 120 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 44 44 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X Doreen Stoller 7135245876 1700 Herman Drive Houston TX 77004 Phoebe Tudor Chairman 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Enrique Ruiz Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cece Fowler Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Dolman Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert W Antablin Exec.
