This home was for sale a month ago. Built in 1885 it is listed as a Historic Site. 2402 Avenue L, Galveston, TX
“James Moreau Brown (1821-1895), builder of Ashton Villa, erected this home in 1885 as a wedding gift for his daughter Matilda (1865-1926) and her husband Thomas Sweeney (d. 1905). Attributed to architect Nicholas J. Clayton, the Victorian cottage features angular dormer windows and a mariner’s wheel motif in the front porch balustrade. Judge Mart Royston, noted lawyer and civic leader, and his two sisters occupied the residence from 1911 until 1954.”
“Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 1978”

ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, thanks for your comment. I hope you also have a good day today!
DeleteInteresting style. Since our short holiday carpets freak me out a bit though ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward on parade pics!
Of course, if there's something I can go photograph, and I'm able...you'll see some shots of it here!
Delete...the Victorians had style.
ReplyDeleteI like looking at it, but I don't think I would have enjoyed living there...unless I had a maid.
DeleteThat house is grand but I don't think it would be comfortable. Poor dog all dressed up, I wonder if he's embarrassed. :)
ReplyDeleteGalveston is a risky place to invest your money in real estate.
ReplyDeleteThat is impressive!
