Yes. Now I remember. It was proposed back in 2009 (I believe) and this specific area of 4th Street (between Colorado and Lavaca) was to be the "Core Preservation District." However, it did quietly go away without any action being taken.
So, no...this area is not currently protected.
Thanks H2O for jogging my memory.
