More Beautiful Architecture in Galveston, TX


Historic Sacred Heart Catholic Church is one of the many architectural gems you'll discover while driving along one of the main thoroughfares of Galveston, TX. This whitewashed Spanish-style church provides a clean palette to offset the intensity of the deep blue sky.  It helps to provide a lot of beautiful brightness to the surrounding environment.



Bishop's Palace, a beautiful Victorian mansion.  I could live here (and would if I could afford it).



Very stately, with an almost Southern flair.  I love the iron balcony detail that is reminiscent of the French Quarter in New Orleans.




This statue reminds me of old photos I've seen of the Statue of the Republic, a giant statue that graced the grounds of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.



Palm trees help to create a sense of luxury to compliment the grandeur of Victorian architecture.
