Hello World! Are you ready to see another historical house in Galveston?
Just across the street from the Yellow Victorian I showed you last week, sits this little beauty. Built in 1885, this lovely survived the the Great Storm of 1900. It is 2,993 sq. ft. nestled on a 5,136 corner lot.
From the Historical Marker:
“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.”

This house is currently on the market; so the pictures will be a mixture of mine and from the listing.
It has a lovely wrought iron and brick fence.
This is the side view of the house.
The house was recently repainted. The details on the exterior are exquisite.
Lovely porch. You can see the yellow Victorian house just beyond.
The main entry hall.
Now, those are some steep stairs. Fortunately, the Master Bedroom is on the first floor which is a rare find in homes of this age.
One of the formal living areas.
Another view of the first formal living area.
Another living area.
This living area is located in the back of the house.
Formal dining room.
The floors and moulding are in fabulous condition. Pulling down the wallpaper and changing the paint on the walls and ceilings throughout the house would help to lighten the space up and really let all of the beautiful woodwork shine.
The kitchen has been updated and with some lovely white cabinetry.
This is one of the spaces upstairs. I love the dormers.

Thank you so much! I so enjoyed this tour, it is amazing how beautiful kept this home is, and the rooms are so well designed with Victorian furniture. What a beauty!
Oh, this is another lovely historic home in Galveston! Thanks for these tours. There are so many many gorgeous homes there and you'd think I'd miss Galveston, but I really don't. Being so close to my grandchildren is the most wonderful thing ever.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Oh my goodness this is lovely and so well preserved. What a gem. I own a victorian home that was built in 1902 and my husband and I feel like caretakers because we respect the house, its incredible craftsmanship and its history so much. Thanks for a beautiful house tour.
Fondly,

I love these historical beauties. Whenever I see one I wish I could peek inside. Thanks for sharing!
If there was a time machine, that era would be my first stop. My dream is to buy a Victorian fixer-upper. I'm in love with Nicole Curtis from Rehab Addict! 😉 This house is beautiful and the pics don't do it justice. Love the rug on the stairs, so pretty. Thank you so much for sharing this. Came across you at Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
