Galveston, TX Photos

Over 235 original photos of Galveston: tourist attractions, architecturally-significant buildings, parks, monuments, museums. Galveston was the wealthiest cotton & commercial city of Texas before the devastating hurricane of 1900, a disaster which caused activity to shift inland to Houston. Being bypassed did remove development pressure & protected the wealthy Victorian heritage buildings which today create Galveston's vast charm as a beach area & cruise port.
