The 50th Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour returns the first two weekends in May, celebrating the island's incredible architectural history. This year's tour features some returning favorites and tour debuts while including numerous special events and exclusive opportunities.

Our 2024 cover house is none other than the second oldest residence in Galveston, the Samuel May and Sarah Scott Williams House. During the winter of 1839, banker, merchant, and a City of Galveston founder, Samuel May Williams, had this raised early Greek Revival built in the Galveston Outlots where "suburban" homes on twenty-acre lots allowed the city’s elite to escape the urban center. Building materials were limited in the newly formed city, however, so the house was prefabricated in Maine and shipped to Galveston to be reassembled. In 1954, Galveston Historical Foundation, under the direction of one of its founders Anne Brindley, purchased the property and saved it from demolition. The Texas Historical Commission designated the house a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1962.
