Say hello to the 1899 Felix and Eva Mistrot House, the 51st Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour cover house!George Stowe designed this high-raised two-story house for retail clothing merchant Felix Mistrot and his wife, Eva. Notable features of Stowe’s design include massive concrete plastered basement arches and a delicately trimmed one-story verandah that leads to a circular bay before wrapping around the south elevation of the house to face the side garden. After the 1900 Storm, the Mistrot house briefly became a hospital for West End residents. The owners later lifted the house during the island’s grade-raising that followed completion of Galveston’s iconic seawall.This and eight other historic homes will be on display the first two weekends in May.
