Roanoke’s historic downtown is centered on Oak Street. The Rock Building, originally the Silver Spur Saloon, now serves as a Visitor Center and Museum and provides a starting point for the downtown’s history.

The city’s resources include a historic walking tour, parking information and cultural programming on Oak Street and nearby civic spaces. Downtown is a distinct part of Roanoke; neighborhoods elsewhere should be compared by their actual access to the core and local recreation facilities.

### Places to know

**Historic Oak Street.** The downtown commercial corridor and setting for city events.

**Visitor Center and Museum.** The historic Rock Building interprets local history.

**Historic walking tour.** A city guide links buildings and landmarks in the downtown area.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Check event schedules and the current parking map before comparing conditions along Oak Street.
- Walk or drive the actual route from the property to downtown; a Roanoke address does not mean the historic core is within walking distance.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
