Architect Charles W. Bulger designed this exquisite two-story Queen Anne house for banker William Cooke Skinner and his wife, Adele. Born and educated in Indiana, Bulger arrived in Galveston in 1891, where he practiced for several years before moving to Dallas. Bulger’s design features a multi-gabled roof-line, wrap-around galleries, and finely crafted details. The Texas Historical Commission designated it as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2017.The 1896 William and Adele Skinner House is one of our eleven homes featured on the 50th Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour.
