This is a beautiful building and the Docent's are a wealth of information about the city of Galveston. If you like History and enjoy beautiful old architecture, you should visit

This was a great tour. The video at the beginning was interesting and the story that you get to hear while on tour tells so much about the history of this town as well as the house. Beautiful mansion!
