This week’s historical shelter is a Galveston home that the listing agent says is renovation-ready, but is also perfectly fine as it is.
We’ve talked about Galveston before, and how much the island has to offer. It isn’t a long drive from Dallas, which makes it a frequent spot for second shelter seekers in the area who want homes near the beach they can visit frequently.
And the Nephtali Grumbach House, located at 1718 Church Street, is a great example of a historical shelter that is still a quick drive (or bike ride) to a public beach, the Strand, and more that the island has to offer.
Grumbach, according to a newspaper ad we discovered, owned a dry-goods store in Galveston.
“It’s a marvelous house and needs your love, although it’s very comfortable to live in as it is,” said Realtor Robert Zahn of Boulevard Realty in Galveston.
