Summary:

Galveston contains the largest and most historically significant collection of nineteenth century buildings of any Texas city. As a result of preservation efforts, Galveston's architecture and history have risen to national prominence. This Guidebook includes the city's imposing business blocks, institutional buildings, and houses, both large and small. Conceived in the ninteenth-century, Galveston's town plan was highly sophisticated reflecting the city's role as a major Southern port from the end of the Civil War to the turn of the 20th century. The guidebook also addresses more recent architectural episodes, such as the growth of the city's highly acclaimed medical center, the development of its neighborhoods, and the evolution of its beach front.
