East End Historical District Homes - 3/28/15

While on the self-guided Tree Sculpture Tour, we came across many beautiful and historic homes. Here are some of them that can be seen in the area (if you're interested in that kind of thing.) Of course, all of these homes have been restored, repaired since Hurricane Ike, and well maintained today.

Seeing these historic homes was just an added, and unexpected, bonus of the Tree Sculpture Tour. It is wonderful that so many private citizens have invested and continue to invest in the restoration and maintenance of these beautiful homes. I am sure there are many more beautiful homes in the area, but these are the ones we happened upon during the self-guided, walking, Tree Sculpture Tour. Not knowing much about the local town history of Galveston, I had no idea this lovely neighbor was located here. Just lovely.
