East End
Historic District
In addition to the ornate Bishop’s Palace, Galveston’s East End Historic District is replete with an assortment of magnificent 19th century homes. Bounded by Market Street to the north, Broadway to the south, 9th Street to the East, and 19th Street to the west, this expansive 50-block area was designated as a National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With a mixture of Greek Revival and Victorian-inspired architecture, the vintage residences range from quaint cottages with welcoming porches to towering mansions with stained glass windows and intricate carvings. Stroll through the tree-lined streets to peek into this island town’s past, where you will be transported back in time to the “Gilded Age.”
