Trustees for St. John’s Methodist Church built the two-story Victorian house in 1899 for use as a parsonage. Pioneer Methodist minister Seth Ward resided there after the 1900 Storm when called to unite St. John’s and St. Paul’s Methodist churches as Central Methodist Church in 1901. Galveston realtor Zebulon Lewis White and his wife, Louise, purchased the property in 1911 and maintained ownership for the next six decades. Located in the Kempner Park neighborhood, the parsonage retains many original features, including impressive interior woodwork and decorative trim.The 52nd Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour wraps up this weekend with tours held Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
