Description: This grouping of four houses was built in early 1890s. The houses are two-story frame residences with rectangular hipped roofs. Each has a double gallery with arches supported by turned posts with decorative brackets. This is the best grouping of the simple double-gallery house remaining in Galveston. The vernacular form was built in Galveston from the late 1870s into the 20th century, often as speculative real estate. There are single and paired examples throughout Galveston, but this foursome is now unique. These houses are in the National Register of Historic Places. Coordinates N 29° 18.099 W 094° 47.374
