East End, Lost Bayou & Silk Stocking Districts

East End, Midtown & Broadway

The East End Historical District, a national historic landmark, is comprised of more than 50 city blocks bounded on the south by Broadway, the east by 10th St., the north by Mechanic St. and the west by 19th St.. The District is comprised mainly of homes reflecting a variety of styles and periods, the earliest being examples of Greek Revival style built during the 1850s.

Much of the Lost Bayou Historical District lies between the Gulf of Mexico and Avenue K between 16th and 21st Sts. It was once covered by a body of water known as Hitchcockâ€™s Bayou that was â€œlostâ€? when the Island was raised after the 1900 hurricane. Originally developed as a working class community, what remains is an extraordinary sampling of homes from the late 1800s and early 20th century. The Silk Stocking Historical District is roughly comprised of 14 city blocks. The District is roughly bounded by 25th St. to the west, 23rd St. to the east, Avenue P to the south, and Avenue K to the north. This neighborhood includes some excellent examples of Queen Anne style homes.

Broadway Boulevard

Ashton Villa 2328 Broadway Ashton Villa was built in 1859 by James Moreau Brown, the original owner who constructed the mansion for his family. The mansion was sold to El Mina Shrine in 1927 for the Shriner to use as offices and social events. The City of Galveston owns the mansion, which is leased to the Galveston Historical Foundation. The mansion can be rented for special events only. No tours are available.

Bishop’s Palace 1402 Broadway Original owner Colonel Walter Gresham had this mansion built for his wife and 9 children between the years of 1887 and 1893. Designed by notable architect Nicholas Clayton. Later, the mansion served as the residence for Bishop Christopher Byrne after the diocesan offices moved from Houston to Galveston. The house is owned by the Galveston Historical Foundation and is available for self-guided tours.

GuestPAL C 409-762-5550

Moody Mansion 2618 Broadway One of the most notable mansions is the Moody Mansion. This mansion was the home of the W. L. Moody, Jr. family. The home was purchased from the heirs of the original owners soon after the great hurricane of 1900. The house remained home for Moody family members until 1896. Today, its rooms are filled with the furnishings and personal effects of the family. Many rooms are open to the public for tours.

Open Gates 2424 Broadway Now owned by the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Open Gates is a campus building on the northeastern corner of 25th at Broadway. It was built by George Sealy for his wife, Magnolia, and their four children. Designed by a New York architect Stanford White, construction was overseen in 1889 by famed Galveston architect, Nicholas Clayton. The mansion is not open to the public for tours, but instead is used as a conference center for mainly events sponsored by UTMB.

East End, Midtown & Broadway

In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Galveston was known as the “Wall Street of the Southwest”. While business was mainly conducted downtown and The Strand area, several wealthy citizens built their homes on a grand boulevard named “Broadway”. Today you’ll find several of these beautiful mansions still standing and restored to their former grandeur including Ashton Villa, the Bishop’s Palace, Moody Mansion and Open Gates.

TOURING GALVESTON ISLAND’S TREE SCULPTURES

While a lot of the oak trees in Galveston were destroyed by the storm surge from Hurricane

Ike, instead of cutting the trees completely down... some artists decided to sculpt the tree stumps into art forms. These whimsical sculptures have replaced the majestic oaks Galveston lost. Some sculptures are tucked into gardens and nestled into side yards while others are proudly on display near the street. Touring the sculptures in the Island’s East End is an easy walk or bike ride. All of the sculptures listed below are clearly visible from the street. All photos courtesy of the City of Galveston.

THE S

Heart of Downtown

The Strand was the heart of Galveston

historic downtown galveston

in the late 1800s and early 1900s and was considered at that time to be the “New York of Texas”. Many buildings still remain that were built in that era featuring a large amount of Victorian architecture. Those buildings managed to survive the devastating hurricane of 1900 that claimed the lives of more than 6,000 people, and now Hurricane Ike. Wear your walking shoes because the 70+ block historic downtown has much more to offer beyond The Strand, and it’s all within walking distance!

Explore tree-lined Postoffice Street, home

of The Grand 1894 Opera House and discover art galleries, boutiques, chic bars & restaurants, live theater and more. Venture along 25th Street for an eclectic mix of shops, eateries and warehouse galleries.

Tired

of walking? Hail a Yellow Cab or ride the Trolley and you can quickly make your way to the waterfront. Here, fish markets nestle adjacent to restaurants offering the freshest Gulf seafood with amazing views of the harbor.
