memorial for manorial

[David Barnhart]

Seen in this morning's Google News:



Houston Mayor Bill White's wife, Andrea, served the visiting ambassadors
sandwiches in the living room of their spacious memorial-area home as
several hours of discussion set the stage for Monday's announcement that
White is considering switching from a run for the U.S. Senate to a bid for
Democratic nomination for governor.



Or, is there some local significance to "memorial-area" of which I am
obviously ignorant?
